I Have A Funny Friend

My friend says she doesn't like calling black people black and only calls them "African-American". So I asked her what she calls white people and she said, "white".

So I told her, "then you should call the white people European American if you call the black people African American."

She said no.

What are your thoughts, people of SW? (Not my problem, just a little funny random chat we have, and my responses are joking around as I always do)

I think opinions are like belly buttons - everybody has one. You can't really get away without offending someone now days - especially on matters of race. I think whatever your friend is comfortable using is her choice. Your point is an interesting one however in terms of her future behaviour worry more about her intent than her word choices
