Black or Coloured or *****?

Question

I was once told that there is no black or white, we are all just different shades of brown. This is just Politcal correctness gone mad. Does anyone dislike being categorised as Black. I dont mind being called White. In fact I have red hair so Coloured would be a more correct term :)....thanks

Answer 1

Just call me by my name

Answer 2

How about Jamal.

Answer 3

hmmm well i don't have a problem with it because that's all I know

when people ask what color you are you always reply with black or white

when they ask for my race on a test i always choose African American

so its not like we really have a option for choosing what we want to be categorized as

Answer 4

im white and i dont have problem with being called white

it may just be me but have you noticed  that if a black person said "hi whote boy" it wouldnt seem racist

yet if a white person said "hi black boy" it would sound extremely racist

i hate racism and if i heard a white person say that i would hit them

yet if a black person said it to me i wouldnt take any notice

Answer 5

Um, I call myself black.

Why make such a big deal out of it?

And if "Negr0" is actually an option for you, you must be living in the 60s

EDIT:

to educate the moron below me, the three races are

CAUCASOID, MONGOLOID, and NEGR0ID

the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was founded in 1909. In those times, colored was perfectly fine. I do not find it "offensive" but it is kind of old.

Answer 6

Red hair is hot.

Answer 7

I noticed you tried to type N E G R O and those yahoos at Y/A are so scared of a certain group they consider it a 'bad' word and replace the letters with asterisks.  

And N E G R O is not '60s' as one young lady put it.  N E G R O happens to be considered one of the THREE major races: CAUCASIAN, ASIAN, N E G R O.

And as far as referring to folks who are not white (caucasian) do you know what the 'C' in NAACP stands for.  Take a WILD guess.

Answer 8

How about Heather Grace Harris!  

Answer 9

Colored means any not white

Black is people of African decent

I dont mind being called black

Answer 10

I don't think anyone gets offended being called black, but derogatory terms like *****, would be offensive, for obvious reasons...and i think maybe 'coloured' or 'people of colour' are just archaic...

''*****' and '*****' should just be banished from the english language, NOONE should use it, including black people, trying turning such a word like that, that had such a huge negative meaning in the past into a 'positive' word to single out different races and to try and prove some twisted point is complete bullsh*t.

Also, i think the whole american usage of 'african american' is stupid, they're BLACK, thats it!
