I find it silly that we have to tiptoe around people so we don't offend them. I don't care what anyone calls me regarding my race. They can call me white (altho I'm more pinkish) or caucasion, or honkey or gringo, or whatever. It's gotten hard to keep up with what to call folks.

If it's families,work, church,school or whatever
people go out of their way not to
offend the offensive. I have never understood that.

I find the term "Hey you" works very well. It equally offends just about everyone.

I recall my brother coming home from school in tears after a black kid called him a "white boy" in a derogatory way.

"I'm not even white," he sniffed ( he was under 10 at the time)," I'm pinky-tan !"
