    Being a black female I am not ashamed or offened when people refer to me as the black girl, especially since I attend WVU, a predominantly white university. A lot of times I am THE black girl. Now if someone was to place it in negative connotation it becomes a problem. Like my white teammates who comment on funny situations that scared them. Its always a BIG BLACK GUY in the story that is the issue. Why can’t it just be a big guy? I find skinny white people that dress funny scary, but I wouldnt start by saying THIS WEIRD WHITE GUY… I would describe him as such if asked. If I could be the devil’s advocate, why must I be referred to as the black girl. Can it not be that caramel colored girl over there, or that girl wearing the red shirt? I myself may not always consider myself black, I am mixed with several things including white so I do have that option. Just choose wisely how u state people’s Nationalities. Dont call a group of hispanics ‘That bunch of Mexicans,’ or ‘those hombres over there.’
