CPUWIZ Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hm... what is an "African American" and why would they have issues with the word "boy"? An American with African heritage and it is considered offensive, if used a certain way, because it was/is a common word used by racists. It originated during the time of slavery. It's ugly. For instance, if you want to stay alive, you wouldn't say "come here boy", to an African American in the south side of L.A.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 All I gotta say is race,religion,ect means nothing. We are all humans and that is all I see any other human as. You could be pink with purple pokadots for all I care. I might ask how the hell you got the dots but I sure woudn't treat you any different for it. You feel me?

Cybergoth Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Wow, I couldn't imagine that "African American" would mean just "black". After all there's millions of white people living in Africa as well. I originally assumed that it meant that someone was born in Africa and then immigrated to America or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Climber Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Woah, this thread went a totally different direction. I thought it was weird that it was up to 2 pages. I will keep my mouth shut next time anyone requests a repro, I don't even know why I said anything. I was just trying to help out, sorry guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
