[quote=Anonymous]I personally don't find it derogatory when it is used to add description. For me it is like saying the tall guy, the girl with long dark hair, the one with red pants. I was once talking about something very trivial to another mom, and she asked me if there was any kid we knew in my son's soccer team. I said 'yes, Marlo', 'who?' 'Larlo, the black boy with the white mom', totally without thinking, I just wanted to find a way she would definitely know who I was talking about. This is simply a boy whose dad is AA and mom is very white, and she knows them. Since then, this mom avoids me. I am not racist. At all. But I do watch my words now and always search for other ways (often longer) to describe people. I am from Europe, and there this would not be a problem, and we do call AAs black and it is not derogatory like some people seem to find it here. [/quote]
