HelpRe: I am a little offended.
in reply to a message by Orsino
I understand what you mean. It's one thing to imagine a charactor with a name and another thing to pass off a name as "belonging" to a particular color of people.
Especially since, in my history of loving names (undisclosed number of decades), something being called a "black name" has never been considered a good thing by the person saying it. Ever.
In this case, it seems that it's less about the actual opinion and more about using language that some ignorant people also use. I AM NOT SAYING ANYONE HERE IS IGNORANT! (for the record) Anyone can have a bad choice of words... happens to me WAYYYY too often! ;-)
That being said, I don't think New Chloe meant anything negative by it, I think she was actually saying that she disagreed with her family's opinion.
