Hey, did Black People know this ?

If some of the black community was unaware, to get around the Political Correctness of racial verbage - a new popular term has been going around and you are now being called "Canadians" -

Yep, HERE's an interesting article about it...

Im assuming that most would get offended - it just goes to show u, that the 'N' word stands out, its how any word can have the same meaning....

I dunno - who cares ..

lol. when are we just call people, people?

I don't like the whole idea of another "race." Everybody is the same! Aren't we all just human beings? Why involve the word "race"?ShadowofTulkas

scientifically there is no such thing as race. any talk of race is essentially a waste of time.

[QUOTE="ShadowofTulkas"][QUOTE="DivergeUnify"] because race isn't a scientific concept... that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.DivergeUnify

[QUOTE="ShadowofTulkas"] Just because it doesn't exist in science, doesn't necessarily mean it should exist at all. Some people may look different and have different habits and views, but I myself think of that as diversity and being unique. gaming25

[QUOTE="DivergeUnify"] Okay and I completely agree, but I still happen to acknowledge the concept of race

:P You are right in a sense though. No matter how much I argue, there will always be the issue of "race" and all of that. Such is the world we live in, huh?

I dunno - who cares ..

Hey! I'm a Canadian! No i am from CANADA!

You can call a black person Canadian if he's in fact from Canada. Can't be calling African Americans canadians..that just makes you sound stupid.

That's like calling a white person mongolian or vietnamies.

[QUOTE="weezyfb"]im both Canadian and black.. now what?xaos

It's not that big of a deal, I've been called "stupid white boy", "dirty white boy", "cracker" and many other things by other races, and I don't take it to heart, because the color of someones skin is so effin' trivial to me.

Race topics usually flood the board all at once, and then die down a day later after everyone is pissed.

Or in the way that time is considered something completely real by society and we live in a world of time, while physicists have slowly been discovering that "time" as anything more than a concept created by humans, does not exist in science.

Race falls into that same list of conceptual creations our society has invented to categorize and differentiate everything.

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="gaming25"] But there is such a thing as races though.MystikFollower

Those are all just measurements of the movements and relationships between celestial bodies. My point was that race, like time (and other conceptual creations) we're simply created to categorize and differentiate the world around us. Time may use a lot of math in it's calculations, but time in itself is not real, any more than race.

i'm white and i've never heard of this :? but i can start using it now :twisted:

This is nothing new. This code language has been going for for many years. Not that I approve of it, I'm just saying.
