Quote:I'm sort of kidding, but sort of not.

 

Some black people refer to themselves as black, others as African American, other as colored.  Same as homosexuals, gay, alternative, lesbian.

 

But if a straight white person says the wrong terminology to the "wrong person"...they get offended.

Yep. If I am talking about a black person that's what I call them. If I'm talking about a gay person that's what I call them. If I'm talking about an asian that's what I call them. Not my problem if they feel offended. That would be like me being offended because someone called me a white girl instead of caucasian woman. 

 

If I'm going to say something offensive it won't be veiled with pretty words. At all. Because by that time my limit has been reached and when that happens all bets are off. Fortunately it takes a lot to get me to that point.
