You've just offended the Jamaican guy who doesn't have US citizenship.

That's okay, he won't be here for much longer come next year.

“Black” just works as a better term. It’s hilarious when people refer to black folks from other countries as “African American.”

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone offended by being called “black.”

If white is not offensive, why would black be offensive? It makes no sense.

Back when I was a kid, "bimbo" was another slur for black people.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Just curious: where was that? Since I was a child, "Bimbo" meant a dumb, attractive, woman, and implied promiscuity. I heard it most in (Italian) gangster movies, mostly. From what I can tell, the racial slur meaning is used in Germany.

Funny; I lived in Germany for a couple of years and never heard that version, but then, I didn't hang out with the types that would be inclined to teach it to me. I got standard cuss words and some colloquial Bavarian curses.

In latin america we say "Mi negro, mi flaco, mi gordo, mi pelado" ("My black, my skinny, my fatty, my baldie") and could not care less. Sometimes even to strangers.

Wow, I was way off. ☹️ I guessed "My flaccid black penis is named Gordo".
