  • in reply to: ‘The black guy’ – offensive or not? #45420

    I believe it is case senstive and yes, race is an obvious feature to consider when narrowing a crowd to one person. I think what bothers me is the phrase ‘big black guy’. I hear this from non-blacks all the time and when they say it in their storys, the fact that the person is black is not even relevant. I think this is incomprehensible but I hear it all the time. It’s almost like they add ‘black’ to the description as to mean ‘imposing’ or fearful. All in all it’s offensive. Now if you are referring to a person among people that you are trying to point out and this person is the only black person, I don’t see the harm in that.
