politacally correct terms.

[tweekee]

Does anybody use them. I don't

I call a black guy a black guy, not an african american. You're indian, not native american. I call white people white people, not caucasions. I understand it's to be nice, but why, whats the point?

Black is the way to go, so is white, but indian is just retarded. Native American or American Indian. Otherwise you sound like a fucking mouth-breather.

It's not being politically correct, it's being biologically and scientifically correct.

[SoulMaster71]

I use offensive terms wherever possible. That includes all the racial slurs (I commonly refer to slope-eyes as chinks or gooks, for example, and I think of myself as a "cracker"). Political correctness is a move by the Communist media to try to limit the range of thought to Marx-approved ideas.

I'm sorry, but I don't know anyone who calls white people "caucasions" besides the media.

[DM692]

I don't use any, really, but my friend just pisses me off with terms like that. When describing movies/quoting people, he'll actually change the wording to "African American".

For example, when he was describing the opening scene of Bruno, this is what he said: "blablablabla And then he said, "Could you say it more like an African-American man?"".

[InsertFunnyUserName]

Indian isn't so much offensive in my eyes as it simply incorrect. Plus, it gets mixed up with actual Indians. You know, the ones from India. Though, I do use it without thinking sometimes.

I always refer to white people as white people. I use black people about 70% of the time. If I'm talking about them in an academic manner, I'll use African American, but if I'm just talking casually, I'll use black.

[Chillee]

I ignore all politically correct terms except for Indian.

Not that I'm liberal in any way (I'm extremely right-wing) but it annoys me because of it's stupidity.

See the whole reason "Indian" is floating around is because Jaque Cartier, the settler of Canada and a bunch of other Europeans had FOUND the Americas in search of India. Little did they know that there was a continent in the middle. When the settlers arrived they found the redskins and started assuming they were Indian. This caught on and eventually everyone started saying it. And now it persists through until now.

In short, the term Indian isn't rude, but in stead ignorant and stupid.

A large part of my heritage is Iroquois, but I honestly think this has nothing to do with it. As I had no problem with the term until I learned where it came from. So now I call them Natives or by their tribe's names.

[Guardian-Angel]

Well, not all black people are african-american, so I never say that. What if they're Jamaican? Or English?

[RocketBean]

When I do speeches at school I obviously have to speak politically correct, but I was able to steal in a few innuendos.

Then, thus, the politically correct fags just say african, landing them into deeper shit....

[OddlyPoetic]

I've gotten in trouble for calling people from Kenya "Africans" instead of "African American"

[DragonFyre9]

I call the natives savages sometimes. I call blacks, blacks white people, white people, and Asians, Asians.

[SAARG5150]

I've got in trouble for calling someone Kune in our school. lol

[gamekillereater]

I don't even think the term negro is offensive, since it's basically just describing the person's race.

Coon, you dumb shit.

[AngryBanana]

I'd be more offended if someone called me African American than black.

[HandsomePete]

I like to call Chinese people "Master"

Black people are not English. This is race, not civics. Additionally, I don't call them blacks.

Thats an unfortunate name for a black child.

What's biologically or scientifically correct about calling someone from England 'African-American'?

I like to believe that he was born in Africa, where such a term doesn't mean anything, but....

His parents were probably just playing shits and gigs.

No... It's spelt "Kune" and his name is Kuneamel. So who is the dumb shit now?

Probably you still. I was just mislead.

[Dented]

I try not to use them, but I tend to have a giant stick up my ass all the time, and they just slip out.

Btw, isn't (fuckin word block) the "N-word" (OMG he said it!) just badly pronounced spanish? I can see a similarity, and a lot of trade occured between Spanish and English merchants.
