[Lucy-H]

One of the big problems in this country is that everyone is too sensitive about the terms people use to describe different races or ethnic groups. Everything offends somebody. We have Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, Hispanics, Hispanic-Americans, Chicanos, Latinos – and everyone of these terms makes somebody mad. We also have Negros, Blacks, African-Americans – and all of these offends somebody. The list goes on and on. And these terms come in and out of favor. ‘People of color’ has lately been used as a generic term that didn’t offend anybody. But apparently now that offends someone too. The result – people avoid the real issues that need to be addressed with respect to race and ethnicity, which are much more important than what we call people, because they don’t know what names to use that wont offend someone.
