gist of the discusssion? What do “black hole,” “angel food cake,” and “devil’s food cake” have in common? They’re all racist terms, says a Dallas County, Texas, official.
This is silly.
Here is my take. Let’s staop calling lighter skinned Euro-orgined people white. If I hold a sheet of white paper next to my skin, they aren’t close.
It isn’t an accurate description at all.
Darker skinned African-originate not black. Look at the background of this webpage. Not a match to any dark skinned african at all.
You gotta admit, the guy is smart! He goes from running a shitty operation and potentially losing his job to likely receiving an apology…and maybe even sue for mental distress.
…of course, suing over mental distress would seem to imply that people with mental disabilities/conditions lead inferior lives…
Yes it is. I found the movie funny as hell, though. I don’t often allow race to skew my thoughts much. I tend to look at people as people. But…if you go out of your way to insult me, racial slur or otherwise, you will be dealt with. So says Beast, the Mandingo Warrior, and slayer of poontang of all races!! LMAO!!

Is “porch monkey” actually a racist term in the states? I’ve never heard it before this.[/quote]
Yeah, unfortunately. I must say I’m quite annoyed at the white people of past generations in this country. We have several words that would be awesome to use as insults for all people, regardless of color, but are now stuck with the stigma of being racist terms.
You guys missed the thing in Canada where some politician said the word oriental. Then a whole bunch of asian people protested the word oriental and accused him of being a racist.
I dunno about you, but I remember when I was younger that was the proper term for them. Oriental, it’s been that word for hundreds of years. Hell, asia is still called the Orient everywhere.

True.
I can’t picture terms like this being racist since I was never brought up with them, they almost lose their meaning - which I sure as generations pass and mix, they will.
Same as “kaffir” probably isn’t recognised around the world as much as it is in SA - yet it’s the equivalent of the “n” word there.

Wtf is up with that[/quote]
People being too sensitive, again - at least that’s my take on it.
I personally don’t mind if someone jokingly calls me a cracker or a honkey or whitey since I wasn’t really raised with the knowledge of these terms.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I think oriental is on par with “negro”, a term that wasn’t so much an outright insult at the time it was popular, but one that’s associated with segregation. Shedding those old labels can be seen as another step towards equal rights.

Ya I not care either. I work in hospitality and I hate when ppl try and play the race card on me just so they can try to get a free room or something …and it happens a lot
