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.”

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months 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.

It's a slur for white blonde women in the U.S.

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".

Wait, what would the problem be with asking for a café solo?

Personally, I’d be like “what the fuck are talking about?”
