technically it matters cause a term that is used to denigrate a group of people can be only be used non-offensively in either a academic contextor by the oppressed group itself. as a white guy who hasn't been discriminated against because of his skin hue, i'm not surprised you don'tunderstand why it matters.Originally Posted by Joseph Camel Jr

if it's not used offensively race shouldn't matter (i'm white i'd never say it but i mean technically why should it matter?) .....and caribbean "hispanics" are mostly black anyway so what diff does it make? no different than a mixed person saying it.
and your "mostly based" comment is not based on anything factual is it? if you change that to a "good proportion", that would be closer tothe facts.
