Amen to that!!! I am also sick of this PC bull. Last time I checked Africa and America are two differrent continents so unless you can spread your legs across a few thousand miles you are either/or but you can't be both! Take your pick. I came from country where racism is almost non-existent and it blows my mind that someone can be offended by being called "black". Well I am being called "white" all the times and I don't give a rat's a** about it (even though I am brown-ish complexion).

So from now on if anybody calls me anyhing but "brown" I will sue them until "they turn black...." (FYI that is a saying in my country loosely meaning "...until they are blown to smithereens" but the pun was totally intended).
