> This is why I think the term "African-American" is absurd. I don't see what's wrong or offensive with simply calling people "black". After all, I doubt many white people get offended by the term "white" - I certainly don't.

Oh, but how it does!
McDonalds launched a Mc'Cafe brand here a few months ago, with an add linking people with their coffees. The lower 2/3 of a coloured basketball player appeared, with the words `long black'. (the same pun was made with the words `flat white') Instant firestorm explosion.

The add was altered - The words `long black' were removed from that scene.

Oh, give me a white racist anyday. At least they might admit that they are one.
