good words.
it's funny (well, not really) how long threads about race grow to be on message boards. usually filled with people very angry about how they are not racist.

most biggots are either angry or they are ignorant.
the angry ones are usually deep down realy trying to redirect attention(both thiers and others) away from something that is fucked up about themselves.
the ignorant biggots are'nt allways meaning to offend sometimes they are just too stupid to question negative stereotyping. they don't know many if any blacks, or asians or gays so they base thier out look on what they are told. the ignorant ones usually have a followers mentality. they are sheep but make good listeners and followers for the angry biggots.

jmo



That's quite a generalization.

Just call everyone you meet, regardless of race: "Bitch". Solves all problems.

"What's up, bitch?"

"Excuse me, I'm Asian/Black/Hispanic!"

"Whatever, bitch."

"..so the bitches from Europe abducted bitches from Africa to take as slaves.."

You may be on to something here. It could be perceived as sexist though.

:justdontknow:

The bitches in Africa fought, and enslaved each other. Those bitches then sold each other to the greedy European bitches who needed a free workforce to replace the "native American" bitches who kept getting up and running away.

I always use "Negroid".  Those people love that.

And, "of the Orient", or "disoriented" if they live in the West.

What?

maybe "asian american" is more PC.




Just like African-American, it means (in my understanding) that person is an American citizen of Asian or African decent/heritage. So if you called someone an Asian-American who was here on vacation and not an American citizen, they could very well take that as offensive.

The bottom line is you can not make everyone (or most people even) happy - you got to be who you are and if someone gets pissy because of what you said, especially if they don't care to learn the meaning behind your words, that's their problem.
