[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] Yes, the use of the word black and which contexts it is used in varies. And some dislike to be called black even if they often are labeled that way by others as the conversation I talked about earlier where a Dominican woman talked with some African Americans and said that "Here in USA many think that I am black". Then some of the AA:s told her "But you ARE black", but she said "No, I am not black, I am a Dominican". Interestingly enough about Indians in South Africa: they did not always go well together with the dark skinned ("black") African population. Even Gandhi expressed negative opinions about Africans while he lived there. The systems of discrimination in South Africa was also rather sinister with some called "black", others "colored". And the Japanese was called white, or even "honorary white". Also South Africa had laws to hinder interracial relationships and marriages, which USA also had (in some states until 1967). Still today there are people in both South Africa and USA who frown on the thought of marrying a person of another race. Also here in Europe there exist such people. Seems cats are less discriminating :D [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/0YGW5ff/Cats.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
