That is the best question I have ever seen on here. I know what you mean, I dont ressemble a "cracker" at all!

Answer 5

coz brown is not black and peach is something like white

Answer 6

Because it is politically incorrect, and if you say that sort of thing you get taken out and shot before a firing squad.

I never know what to call brown people.  They change their labels every decade, and I can't keep track of it any more.  You can't call someone an "African American" for instance if they are a tourist from Kenya.  Or if you happen to be in England, right?  I don't like the phrase "person of color" because I'm a colorful dude myself.  

I have never called someone a white person either, on the other hand.

I suppose I really don't refer to someone by the color of their skin unless I need to describe them.  Then I may hazard a guess at their race and say something like, "he's a dark skinned guy... maybe an African American".

P.S.  I may be white but I'm no peach.
