Only formally. In conversation, we call them whites 99% of the time. I hate political correctness, it is SO obnoxious.

Calling people white or black is not judging anyone, and it only offends those obsessed with the nonsense that is extreme political correctness.

But basically NO ONE gets offended by being called Black or White! It is the people of opposite coloration who get all crazy about it. I am Native American, but I do not mind being called an Indian. You are not black, so do not tell us what to call them

one again my post is ingored here:

But it is comparing a person's skin to a color. A person is a person, not a color.

A person's skin has a color. It's not "comparing a person's skin to a color". It's...saying the color of the person's skin.

Native American/Indian is a bit different. It's not racist, it's just... geographically incorrect. It's just used because Columbus was a dumbass and thought North America was India.

But it's grouping people based on the color of their skin. That's wrong.

So, you get to pick and choose which classifications are racist and which are not? And using a person's skin color is more racist than referring to a race as a race that they aren't? :confused:

No it is not. I have Tan skin. If someone called me tan, I do not care. or white, or Indian, Or whatever!!! How is it wrong when it is the truth? And in truth, it is more truthful! Many black americans were born elsewhere, yet people call them African Americans. That is incorrect, as they were born in another country. Now drop it

Well, i'm just saying... calling people "black" or "white" is grouping them based on their skin color... calling a Native American an "Indian" is less racist, because the term has been carried down from that dumbass Christopher Columbus, and it's not grouping them based on the color of their skin.
