[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 886380, member: 52972"] Tom, The prefered term is African-American, or Black. The term "Colored" has also been considered derrogitory since the times of the 1960's Civil Rights movements. It is proper to speak of minority races as "People of color" which defines people of African, Hispanic, Native American, and Asian ancestry. None of the terms are truely accurate, but it is difficult to define or classify a race of people in terms that does not offend someone. I agree that it is now more politically correct to refer to the derrogotory term as "The N-word", but I used it in this context to show how Native Americans and African Americans feel about those racist names. In that same vain, should we not be refering to the football team as the Washington R-words??? As you probably know, both words are in the dictonary, as are other words that people feel are not appropriate to use. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
