So does that mean that McDonalds's is now "ethnic" food because their commercials are aimed at the hip, inner-city youth? Sirrah, I may well be hip but I am no youth! :) Back to the topic..Here's a thought ..don't use any loaded words..racism, ethnicity etc. In the UK the 'acceptable' word is 'afro-carribean'. If I refered to any of my mates as Afro-carribean, they'd think I was having a laugh with them..particularily the black ones.. One cannot know what motivates somebody, there's no magic formula for spotting a bigot and who can say why somebody makes a texture and calls it a certain name. Curious coincidence, I've been working on a P4 black woman for the last week....she's getting there but I have had to use a lot of morphs.....a lot!
