[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That said, in Urdu, "kala" is the word for black color or skin. "kaloo" is the word meaning "black person." it is not a derogatory word any more than "black person" is, so PP whose family uses that word- I wonder if it's the context or the other adjectives used, but I don't believe kulloo is considered a bad word. Then again, I'm first generation and raised here, so I might be missing the subtleties of that term as used by immigrants. [/quote] Trust me you might want to stop using it. [/quote] Well, PP's explanation is how I feel as well. I don't understand why 'kaloo' would be derogatory when it translates to black person same as 'gori' for white...atleast ime, it is describing a race, not used as an epithet. [/quote]
