Don't sweat it. At least in my case I didn't take offense, just agreed with Dr. Phil that there was maybe a better way of phrasing it. Our words never seem to be as ripe for controversy as when talking about race. It seems the only way to avoid the controversy is to avoid the conversation, and I don't like that answer either since without the discussion (and corrections from those more learned than ourselves) we don't grow. God knows I've gotten my foot in my mouth more than once over this topic.
