Re: Eh?
Is it racist? I mean, really?
I would say it depends more on the context of what is being said than the term itself.
Some of them use it to describe themselves all of the time, in which case it would be racist if you couldn't use it.
I might find it somewhat offensive, if you call me one, and feel somewhat uncomfortable. But I certainly wouldn't feel like you were being racist if you were to use the term in an otherwise normal conversation. I certainly wouldn't say anything either if there were no racist undertones (through anything else you say, or how you say it).
Bearing in mind, my comment is said as I physically look like one and can ethnically be considered as one. Also, I'm not writing it because I don't want it flagged on the company's internet.
