in reply to a message by Miranda
You will notice that I did not ask you to use African-American that is simply what I feel comfortable using.
Also, it is not always what you say, but how you say it that gives people pause. Judging from your subject line, I am not the only one that has had a problem with this subject.
Uneducated, fine, lower class, fine, even my so hated expression "made up" would have been better, but the fact remains, you lumped in an ethnicity with two very degrating terms, whether you see it that way or not.
