What's wrong with you? Don't you know you're special? People of your color are ALWAYS "African-American," thus denoting their superiority over people like me who are just plain "white."
You made me realize I had a typo in my post. I forgot the word "don't" before "categorize". Oh well. I'm special? Why didn't someone tell me?
Threads like this walk a thin line. I agree, that i don't see malicious intent, although several of these posts in a different context (especially the pill/cotton joke) would certainly cross the line. But, this is a community and hopefully people tread lightly and don't go too far. The thing is, that if people are actually able to keep things level, threads like this can not only be funny but also in their own unique way piss on the true racism that most certainly does exist. People who are comfortable enough to joke about near-taboo racial subjects in a peaceful way help to take away the sting at the core of the racism. I hope everyone here is able to understand this, except of course the Mexicans cause they can't read.
