i certainly don't mind being called 'white'. am i the color of whole milk? no. are 'black' people the color of ebony? no. its just a **** of a lot easier to say, as opposed to 'caucasion european-americans' or 'afrocentric people of color'.
they are just descriptive words, folks! one word is a lot easier than a whole paragraph.
