[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember when it was preferred to refer to folks as black.  Then it was changed to african-american.  Than, apparently, we went to black again.  I guess BIPOC is the latest iteration.

I'm happy to call people whatever they prefer, but if wish folks would settle on one term.  [/quote]

Only whites are privileged enough to have one term for themselves.[/quote]

LOL.  I am from West Virginia.  I've been called white trash, hillbilly, cracker, peckerwood, trailer trash, inbred (x1000), and all sorts of other unflattering things.

I do my best to call people of any race, gender, etc. whatever they prefer to be called. If you want BIPOC, BIPOC it is.  I do find the indigenous part confusing because only Native Americans are indigenous here. [b] the rest of us are immigrants, forced or unforced. [/b]

My family started out as "indentured servants" here.[/quote]

At what point are people no longer immigrants?  How many generations or years have to pass?[/quote]

I'm not the PP, but all of us except Native Americans are immigrants [b]not matter how or when you came or how long you've been here.[/b] [/quote]

This argument is not logical.  In that case the entire WORLD is immigrant, except for Africans (the birthplace of humanity). There has to be a number of years or generations before a group of people is no longer considered an immigrant, whether it's to the United States or to China.
