Re: Interesting thought.
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. =)
