HelpRe: Interesting thought.
in reply to a message by Murasaki
I get your point. I'm pretty sure none of the kids in my class have ever called a "sub" racist though. But of course, I could be wrong because I'm in the advanced classes and usually the "rif-raf" kids are in the normal (or slow) classes. I'm part of the "well-behaved" group of kids. Well-behaved meaning we don't steal people's cell phones. True story for one of my friends: his phone was in his bookbag and this other kid stole it and later when he realized he was going to get caught, he put it in the trashcan. Long story short, somehow the stealer got sent to jail from like November to Christmas. That's what you get, I say.
Anyway, I agree. That girl meant to say Princess is majorly related to blacks. (I'm sorry, but I don't believe in the "politically correct" term. If it's African-American now, then I expect to be called Caucasian. It's only fair to me.)

Well, I've also had classes like yours, where the kids were hard-working and generally absolutely adorable.
Personally I don't find the term black un-PC, I study ethnicity and tend to use the terms black and African-American somewhat interchageably for practical reasons, at the moment I don't have the time and energy to discuss the pros and cons of each of the terms, so I just won't go there.

I don't really care too much, but I think it's sort of wrong to name one group of people one thing and then not name another something too.
It's like you have two kittens: a black one and a white one. You name the black one Midnight and the white one Whitie. Whatever happened to Blackie and Whitie?
Well, that's it. I'm done with that bad example.
Thanks for the talk though. =)
