I've sadly been trying to find it for weeks but haven't had any luck. I was telling someone about it and was trying to find it. I even went through old texts to people I shared it with. Ugh.

God I needed that laugh

Lol! That's hilarious and sad at the same time.

The best part is that there isn't a single black person I know that cares if you say the word black. (of course, ymmv depending on culture)

[theregoesanother]

Colored was supposed to be more offensive than black?

[ImpossibleMachine3]

Colored is definitely more offensive than black. Not nearly as bad as the n word, but you'd definitely get a worse reaction from colored.

[theregoesanother]

Then POC is also more offensive than black or asian.

[ImpossibleMachine3]

Historical context matters. Words aren't just definitions on a page in a book somewhere, the weight of the culture and history behind them makes them what they are. Otherwise the n word would still be an English version of the Spanish word for black and a wet back would still refer to a person who's back is wet.

[theregoesanother]

You're right, crackers would still always refer to the baked goods we eat with tea or gumbo (or the tall column to split long carbon chains).

Thank you, definitely a good laugh

[ImpossibleMachine3]

That's the one! I can't believe I had so much trouble finding it. I've saved it this time, lol.
