People are way too sensitive over semantics

[futurefields]

Why is it that if I say 'colored people' it's a faux paus but if I say 'people of color' it's okay?





You're trolling lately. And this is one subject that never ends well.

I say you should ask a black guy. Please record the encounter.

Resident black guy reporting for dickery. I call white people out for doing white sh*t and people think I'm racist for saying it. Then I get robbed by blacks in the dope game and am told I am not black because robbed by blacks, while blacks are killing eachother every day over some rims and car stereo's.

Personally I'm just tryina get some pvssy .... all this other sh*t is you fvcktards (white, black, mexican, wutever teh fok u are). GG.

Why do you have to specify at all?

I find that whenever people are trying to have a discussion about race it generally isn't positive.

Politics as well.

Depends on the situation. If you got robbed and the cops were asking what the perp looked like. It might help if you told them if they were black, asian, white etc. "It was a male" is kind of vague and gets you nowhere.

You should ask a colored person.

 

[ImpulsE69]

OP are you saying you don't have a token person of color friend?

Yeah, that's never happened to me so it hasn't been a problem. If it did I'd use more descriptive terms but I have found in my day to day life that it really isn't necessary.
