DeNaJa, you're right about generational terms. I think some terms are "outdated" but people in their 70s and 80's used them and will be hard to say other things. My mother, who's a mix of AA, NA and Caucasian and raised AA, was called the N word in Catholic school because she had long hair. She has never referred to herself as black although my siblings and I have. It is what it is. and to the poster who said wouldn't it be nice to not have to worry about race?? YES; maybe it'll happen.... just maybe...
