Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 2869669, member: 2065"] I have always struggled with this somewhat, so I am interested in your take on it. If someone says there was a black guy or black person at x event, I have always regarded that simply as a descriptor and not racist. Equally if someone says it was a white guy etc, I would not consider that racist. If saying someone is black is racist, is calling them dark skinned racist? Or indigenous etc? Or does it become racist when it is added to some other pejorative adjective or descriptor? Is it discrimination to identify someone by a trait or belief? If I call someone a Catholic, Buddhist, Christian etc, isn't that simply a descriptor, or am I discriminating against them on the grounds of religion. If someone is described as fat, is that being discriminatory or is it just impolite and you should use overweight? [/QUOTE]
