If you must take issue, take issue with my African co-workers. Tis they who scoff at being referred to as "black" not I. Then again when you have a strong sense of idenity the way many Africans do I suppose it would be easy to get offended at being reduced to a mere abundance of melanin (sp?). Make no mistake, pretty much every African you run into will quickly correct you if you say they are "black". Guess it's that associated stigma thing.Originally posted by shidoshi
I take some serious issue with this, but I'm not sure how much I feel on getting into this. I'll just ask this: good old American white boy shidoshi and whomever living in a small Swedish town are of totally different worlds mind-set wise. So now one of the two of us suddenly isn't "white?"
