But you cannot say niggardly - which has nothing to do with race.

I must need more coffee when I find myself agreeing with that phlegmatic old tool.

Andy Rooney is Looney. But he'll get away with it.

The term African-American is ridiculous unless it is applied to an African who recently became an America. I demand to be called an English-American. Or maybe European-American since Africa is NOT a country. Why don't they just want to be Americans?

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.
