  • in reply to: ‘The black guy’ – offensive or not? #25025

    I don’t typically think it’s offensive to point out someone by ethnicity (if you are identifying someone in a crowd or a group). But I always wonder why people include a person’s ethnicity when it adds nothing to the story. E.g. ‘we were waiting in line and this black guy came up to us and asked us for directions…’ what’s the difference between a ‘guy’ and a ‘black guy’ in this context?
