Description
Because I say 'black' instead of African American, doesn't mean I'm racist.If I call someone Mexican and, heaven forbid, they're Puerto Rican, I'm not an ignorant twat.
I'm going to state my opinions on gays, abortion, whatever else is a touchy subject. Yes, I'm going to do my best to not intentionally offend anyone. But seriously. Come on. Things need to stop being so touchy. Hm. Maybe I should have put prejudiced instead of racist. Meh. Whatever. You get me, I hope.
~Finch
PS. I think I need to go to stamp rehab, I've been making so many. Oh damn, that would make a good stamp. I copyright it as of now.

i honestly don't understand why calling a black guy black is considered racist,if calling one black is deemed racially offensive,than calling them "African American" is no different because it is still a distinguishing title of race.
i get called white all the time by people,and i'm not offended because,guess what?,i AM white. (and when someone calls me a cracker or a honky i just can't help but laugh!)

Well, if you think about it "political correctness" is just a pejorative term used by the right wing to put down a practice of calling people what they want to be called.Β
So I really have a hard time understanding the need to wistfully remember when you could call American Indians "redskins," you could call Arabs "towel-heads," or even when you could call African Americans "niggers."
I call it basic respect.

I agree. I don't use euphenisms most of the time, and I won't like an unlikeable nonwhite character just to avoid sounding racist.
π: 0 β©: 0
I'm very far from politically correct. I don't use PC terms and I am not hesitant to include evil nonwhite characters in my stories.

I really have to applaud you for this. Political correctness is overruling these days, and it seems to cause more problems than it solves. It only makes a touchy subject stay touchy instead of allowing us to get over things and move on. I'm rarely ever politically correct, but I'm not prejudiced, either!

I think people act overly sensitive to slightly politically incorrect terms because they're trying to end racism.. Umm yeah.. sorry toots, that's not happening.
π: 0 β©: 0
Totally agree.
Also, the term African American, I've heard that it's kind of offensive from some people below in the comments- which I think makes sense. I'm not black, but I see how it could be annoying. It's not as if they're new immigrants or something- they're American, seriously. Besides, I'm 1/16 Hispanic- my great grandmother was an immigrant from Mexico, but it's not like I'm "Hispanic", you know? And African Americans have been here for many more than a few generations.
But I probably don't have much of a say, I'm not black and I don't think everyone finds it offensive, but yeah...

IKR? I'm black and I find African-American to long to say sometimes, LOL.

I don't even like the term African American -_-' I'm not racist, but the term is just stupid.
I mean, i don't say i'm German American, or im Russian American. And how many "Spanish Amercians" do you hear about? or "Indian Americans"
No. You're just African. That doesn't mean your any less of a person or citizen. But still.

Reminds me of this one reporter who referred to the people in Africa as "African Americans" instead of just "Africans" because she was trying to sound politically correct. Fail.

Thank you. Honestly it bugs the crap out of me when my family talks about how 'black is beautiful' & 'n***a this' & 'n***a' that it`s its own form of ignorance and bordering on bigotry. On the other side tho a 'friend' said that "I`m not ignorant just because I`m black" a compliment and insult all wrapped into one. It kinda hurt.

soo right! everyone is so sensitive. why can't they just go with the flow and let go of things. you know forgive and forget. if peple didn't get so easily offended maybe some of the world's problems would not be true as of today.

I really don't care if you say black or african-american. But I'm so many generations removed from the african part it's kinda weird. Technically I'm actually Creole, but I don't care if someone calls me black because they don't know any better. A Many people don't even know what Creole is.
The only thing I disagree with is saying someone from puerto rico is mexican. I don't feel like you can use them interchangeably like black and african american. I have a friend who's from costa rica and she gets offended if someone says she's from puerto rico, they're two different countries, get what I'm saying? Just a thought.

I know this is an old comment, but I've never met a person who was insulted because someone called them black. I mean, I'm not saying it's never happened to anyone, but if you're implying it's common, it doesn't seem to be.

Technically I'm creole, but most people just call me black. I don't get upset about it, it keeps things simple. I honestly get tired of having to explain what creole is to people.

Black people don't get offended when you call them black.

This reminds me of the Venture Brothers when the Blacula slayer says that he can't slay normal popular vampires only "blaculas". Then he asks, "C'mon people, is there a alternative name than blaculas?!".

Right-o. Well. βBlackβ is not a racist term. βAfrican-Americanβ actually is. Itβs wrong to assume that someone who has dark skin is from Africa. They might be from the Caribbean, idk. This stamp has my full support.
π: 0 β©: 1
"from the Caribbean"? You mean, the Indians? Because the blacks from there are also from Africa (where they were kidnapped and brought from as slaves).

People in America are so sensitive! D: If I wanted to be sensitive I'd make people call me Caucasian, but I don't like that word, and it's easier to say "You're white."
Things have gone way too far these days, and I have a feeling it's only going to get worse.
I mean, honestly. I celebrate Christmas. If I want to say "Merry Christmas!" I'm going to say "Merry Christmas!"
It's a kind gesture is all.
I could rant about this forever, but I won't. x,D

"Caucasian"? Are you really from the Caucasus?
π: 0 β©: 1
I am not. But we're supposed to call white people Caucasian. Makes about as much sense as calling Jamaican people African-American.

And actually [link] (so you might only complain it's not "Black American" or "European-American").

"But we're supposed to call white people Caucasian."
"We"? You mean, the Americans? It's the US-only term. [link]
"Makes about as much sense as calling Jamaican people African-American."
"Jamaican people" is not a race (black 91.2%, mixed 6.2%, other or unknown 2.6%). And your example is actually in reverse.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, you see, I am American. I was referring to myself and my country. It's just something I'm used to, seeing as I mainly spend my time talking to friends I know in person, so I'm used to calling Americans "we."
I wasn't aware that the names are different in other countries, thanks for letting me know. ^^ Sorry if I seem ignorant.
I'm not trying to get into an argument about this, so I'm sorry if I seem anything less than civil.

I'm Pro-Freedom of speech, politically correct or not, and like you, I'm not racist nor do I discriminate against "minorities."
My friend got a caution from the police for referring to her brother as "half-caste" because apparently that's not acceptable now either! O.o

This stamp rocks. Political correctness has gone too far these days.
A perfect example: "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" just to please anti-religious atheists and islamic/pagan extremists.
π: 0 β©: 1
And what's wrong with this? Here it was always Happy Holidays (Wesolych Swiat).

That was truth beyond measures. I don't even know what to say sometimes and with my verbal lashes, you only begin to take no notice to the things we say. We aren't haters, just players in the politically incorrect game.

>< I agree! I mean... I'm not going around and saying stuff that's offensive when I say "Black person", I'm not going to go out of my way to say "Person of colour" when everyone has colour. Not to mention I'm called white so why can't I use black? It's a description for christ's sake! Not a derogatory term.
*coughs* anyway... adding this to my collection. Thank you!

I know, right?
I get called white by black people. Using that logic, I should be running around telling people to call me Portuguese-French-German-English-Sioux American, right? NO. T_T
Sorry. Not meaning to rant on your stamp

Stamps are love. MAKE MORE.
I AGREE.
It's like saying,
I DEMAND TO BE CALLED EUROPEAN-AMERICAN-CAUCASIAN.
Or maybe Irish-Scotish-German-Lebonese-Dutch-English-etc Caucasian American. HA.
Okay I'll shut up now. >.>

And whatever you have to do with the Caucasus region? Do you have also ancestors from Dagestan or something?
