Harvard Law School page with questionable slang

Read the line starting with "32% ... "

Is this acceptable to use now days?

They'd say "negroes" but then they wouldn't be able to count Asians.

All I meant is does it really matter? I just think it's sad that people even ask if it's ok to say that. If someone of color is offended by the statement "of color" then they need to lighten up.

I'm am white - I'm not offended, this was more of a "is it socially acceptable to say that" thread.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

No - in fact this has been a politically-correct term for at least the last 20 years.

 

[Liver]

I wonder if that 32% was straight 32% or was it 3/5th . . .

It's all good, I apologize. I just meant no one should care about that phrase, not who cares about your thread.

 

[Ikonomi]

I don't care. But you realize they just lumped all non-white students together in that statistic.

 

[Mo0o]

Yeah, we better go sue them

 

[olds]

Who cares?

 

[necine]

Whatever happened to "minorities"...

That said, who cares?

 

[grrl]

That's the PC term.
