IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]
I think murzyn is more correct. In fact the word negro is fine too and is used around the world. The big bad N word is nigger.
Labeling races into colors simply doesnt work because everyone can have their own views on what makes a "white" or "black" person.
(I.e. Some people dont consider Italians white, some say Arabs are white, etc).
Africans have different colors/shades to them, as do Europeans.
If they tried to match race + color they should at least put some effort/detail into it.
Some people like to jump to easy conclusions like this:
White = Caucasian
Black = subsaharan Negro
Red = American Indian, Aboriginal North American
Yellow = Asian
These color to race labels are to simplistic imo. A race isnt just a color. There is more to it.
