Racist email from a black provider?

[HighEquilibrium]

Did anyone else see that racist email from a black provider from here in Dallas?

[cage196]

why does it have to be from a black provider in order for it to be racist? this post itself is racist LOL!

cage196 is right, when a black provider or hobbyist posts/sends what might be construed as a racist remark had anyone else did it, it is not considered to be a racist statement.

Link? I mean let's not trigger this woman and make sure we refrain from contacting her if applicable.

And it's "African-American"....not "black."

(I am now well-trained by my kids!)

No such thing as African American unless you were born in Africa and gained citizenship here or vice versa. If you were born here and have been her all your life, you are 100% American.

Sure they can be and are. The race card has been widely used for years and is used all the time for political, economical and other lot in life reasons, but publically stating that blacks are racists will find yourself in hot water.

Black is more appropriate, she could be Jamaican, Haitian, Ghanaian, Nigerian, etc...

There are racist people of all skin colors. There are plenty of black racists, white racists, brown racists, racist people of east asian origin etc.

Also, I mean no disrespect to VIPAhyana, PetiteFunLady etc.but I disagree with the term "African American". Most black Americans have never been to Africa and know nothing about that continent. Also there are millions of Africans living in Africa who are not black either so one can't imply that African American = black. Calling them "African American" implies to me that they have divided loyalties or are less American than say a white American. That's simply not true. Plenty of black Americans are proud American patriots who are ready to give their lives for this glorious country we call home. After all, we don't call white Americans "European Americans", now do we? That's why I don't believe in "Chinese American" "Mexican American" etc. either. If you're an American citizen living in the USA, you're just American to me.

I'm just saying the correct PC term now is "African-American"... not "black." I wasn't going into the whole background of race and where they're from.

Just like Asians prefer to be called "Asian" instead of "Oriental." Dishes are oriental, not people.

I try to stay up-to-date and respect folks. My kids called me out years ago when they were in middle school that they're taught the term "African-American" in school and I think it's more respectful now and I use that term rather than "black."

More good examples are Asian-American and Native American... instead of "Oriential" or "Indian."

I have been asked every week of my life: "Are you Thai? Filipino? Hawaiian? Mexican? African-American?

I prefer to just think of myself as a human being!

Yeah, I got the weird email about the black chic. Made zero sense to me. Not sure why I got it.

OAN...I say black. I do not and will not say African American. I only refer to real Africans as Africans.

It makes a lot of white people uncomfortable to say black😂🤣😂🤣

I refer to Asians as Asians...not oriental. Unless I know their home country then I refer specifically to that country

If you're truly Mexican, I'll refer to you as Mexican. Otherwise Hispanic/Latino/Latina are my go to's. Unless again...I know their home country.

[petitefunlady]

Oh, yes! Growing up, we always said "black people." Then when my kids were correcting me, I thought about it and changed. Plus, it sounds better when I'm at work!

Now, I like being called "Native American" rather than "Indian" as I don't want people thinking I'm from India.
