Black guys hate it when you call them that. [::rimshot::] :)

Interesting. Just one response so far. I've often wondered that but no one has been able to tell me.

I think the current "in" word is "Asian." As an Asian, I remember the incredulous stare from one of my liberal professors when I told her that I had no problem with the term "Oriental." Heck, I've been using it since before the word was deemed non-PC.
