Fresh is asian.

Pierce is white but bases nearly everything on the belief interaction is based on racial prejudice.

He's wrong there. Interaction is based on whether or not you want to lay the person.

That is far closer to the truth. Don't care what color or religion anyone is so long as they are hot.

Or a black oriental community? Oh that's right. "Oriental" isn't PC. I guess "black" isn't either. WTF. I am so un-PC. Who else can I offend? Hey Grandma, nice Pie!

Tell me about it Queenie. I have to do so many quickfire mental revisions whilst I'm talking to people in meetings and such, because it's like a bloody minefield. I know. I know. Schools are led now by Head Teachers, but my mind still wants to say Head Master. It's probably only in the last ten years that I stopped saying 'half caste' and started saying 'mixed race'. I am now not really sure what is the current accepted term *chuckles*

Such is life. Each generation reimagines themselves and the world they're in, and what seemed compatible with their parents identities may not be compatible with their own.

I find that intention is more meaningful than language, and I also find that if someone is at least willing to reconsider their language in order to not be hurtful, it shows that their heart is in the right place.

At the same time, I don't have a lot of patience for most of the PC stuff, because it's artificial sensitivity. Besides, who makes this shit up? I want to know what bunch of jerks keeps deciding that we need a new euphemism for "black" every couple of decades. From "Negro" to "Black" to "African-yourcountryhere". First of all, I don't think it's especially reasonable to have to determine someone's nation of origin before being able to describe their appearance. Second, as technically inaccurate as "black" is, it's just a fucking adjective for fuck sake.

Plus, I am pretty damn sure it wasn't an indian who decided indians have to be called "Native American" now.

So if I were PC, I would be a Slightly-Tan-Scot-Swede-American. That would be really hard to say if I were eating sunflower seeds. I'd rather just be white.

Y'all are pink to me.

YOU HEAR ME? PINK!

I'm definitely not pink. I'm approximately the color of cardboard, or toast.

with or without crust?

With.

Yeah. Tiki's pretty crusty.

I had a friend who used to write in "beige" when asked for color. He had some Eastern European Swarthiness going on.

american sign language has TONS of really offensive signs for different ethnic groups. They are really rather funny....unless you're an overly sensitive dork-head.

This week, in the US, it's bi-racial. Your verbiage may vary :lol:

I generally try to say Native American or American Indian, just to keep things straight so someone knows whether I'm talking about an Indian from India, or an Indian as in Native American. Apparently "Mexican" is not PC, you're supposed to call a person Hispanic, even if they're directly from Mexico. It is kinda rude to assume every Hispanic you meet is from Mexico, so generally unless I know the country of origin I do try to not use the label Mexican. It'd be like calling every Asian you meet Chinese when they're really from Korea, for example. Although, is Asian a PC term nowadays? I can never keep up. I think "black" is PC again though, and its as accurate as African-whatever country if the person has never even been to Africa, much less was born there. To me it just seems kinda silly to claim a continent as your own when you have no real ties to it for generations. It'd be like me calling myself European-American, we don't even know how back its been since my ancestors moved to the Americas, so why claim a continent I have no known physical ties to anymore?
