Instead of focusing on what TO call us, folks should just worry about what NOT TO call us as a group: NIGGER, NIGGA, COLORED, PORCH MONKEYS, etc.
And when white people ask "what do you want to be called" I tell them to call me by my name.  |
The nonsense is supposed to be "politically correct", which makes these terms comfortable for the masses. IMO, Michael Richards does not care to appeal or relate to the American masses. He shouldn't make fake apologies about the words he let out of his mouth because he doesn't care about the people affected by them.
And when did Caucasian come into use? I don't recall hearing that from the white kids or my white teachers in elementary or middle school. The Caucaus Mountains have been around for centuries, but the term "Caucasian" has not. Neither has Anglo-American, Asian-American, Cuban-American, Mexican American, etc.
