Black/white?
I know the formal terms are Caucasian and African American, but is anyone actually offended by the words black and white? I'm just curious, because my friend and I were talking about it. She'd rather be called black because it sounds more casual, and I'd rather be called white, but neither of us would be offended by any of the listed terms.
What do you guys think about this? Black or African American? White or Caucasian?
"Ask that to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He died fighting for that cause."
It sounds a lot like you read the question and skipped over the details inside. I'm not asking which race is better, because I don't believe either is. I'm asking if people are actually offended by being called black/white.
And if you did read the details, and you think the terms black and white are insulting to Martin Luther King, that's just silly. If he was alive, I'm sure he wouldn't care what we call each other, as long as it isn't insulting.
well im niether balck/white but asian and i normally refer to african-americans as balcks and caucasians as white. i dont think the terms as offenisve. i only use caucasian and african-american when refering to sensitive whites/blacks or speaking scientifically.
african american is a bit confusing at times thought because many african in america have been here so long they can't trace back their ansectory to any specific ethnic african group
also nto all desnded from salves.caucasin is confusin too because many caucasians cant sepfically trace theri anmscetory to a erupean country.
however i dont go around calling them ni*****, honkies, albinos,africcon,buffie, aligator bait etc etc or any othe rracial words. thats offesnive
