Re: I like them...
Well, if you think about it, white Europeans are the ones who colonised pretty much the entire globe and greatly mistreated its inhabitants, particularly those of different races. We still continue to oppress them and appropriate their culture to this day. But Paris was never a colonised place and the Parisians never oppressed, so I see it as different. I still think it's a silly name, but not as potentially insulting or disrespectful.
QuoteI know if I met a white kid with my ethnicity as their name I'd be like "what... the hell?" :(
Can I ask what your ethnicity is? Out of curiosity - you might have a better stand point on this than I do, as, like I say, I'm white, so I can't really decide what is and isn't offensive to other cultures.
