Do black people (or African-Americans, egyptians, jamaicans...etc) get offended when they are called black? (by other races) If you're American, do you prefer African American? But not all black people are from Africa, so technically, the term "African American" is wrong, isn't it? Plus, if a black friend calls you their "N" word, why is it wrong for you to do the same? It's kind of weird to me, and I want to know why this is. My friends told me they don't care if I call them black, (i'm asian) but it's an insult if I call them my "N" word. Is it because of slavery in the past? I just wanted other people's views. Is it wrong for caucasians to be called white? Is it an insult for a caucasian to be called white by another race?
