Seriously. Your ‘worrying’ is completely unjustified. The single black person in the all white crowd shouldn’t be offended if he or she overhears someone refering to them as a black person, or THE black person. I see nothing wrong with it. As long as you are not insulting that person’s race, they have no reason to become upset. Unless they are ashamed of being black for some reason. When someone of a different race refers to me as a ‘white guy’ I am not insulted because I have no reason to be. I am a white guy. I’m not ashamed of that fact either. Why should it be any different for a black guy? White people seem to be overly cautious of inadvertly insulting a minority. Probably because of the fear of being labelled racist. I can’t speak for black people, but I have had black friends (back when I lived in california) and they were never insulted when I would point someone out as being black. In fact, one of my black freinds teased me for trying to physically describe someone who was black, without mentioning their race. After he figured out who I was talking about he said ‘Oooh, the black guy? Why didnt you say so?’ Am I wrong? If it IS insulting to black people please, will some black person reading this let me know why being called black would insult you. Stop worrying Dom! And keep it real!
