[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'm white[/b] and I would assume someone calling me vanilla would mean that I'm kind of generic or standard. I wouldn't be particularly offended by it b/c I am pretty much vanilla. I haven't called a black person chocolate, but I could imagine myself using that term in a figurative way to describe a population that is mostly dark-skinned. It wouldn't seem like an insult, just describing a difference in color. In fact, I almost would take it or mean it as a sweet or pleasant description of color b/c everyone loves chocolate and it has a very positive connotation to me. "[b]chocolate" is not the same as saying "blackie"[/b] or "whitey." Any word can be used pejoritively, but I wouldn't assume that about "chocolate."[/quote] See, here's the thing. You don't get to decide that. You don't get to decide for someone else what's offensive to them. [/quote]
