Interestingly and in passing, I note that the article describes cases, similar to your anecdote, where there is “the sense [of] referring to a “black personâ€, [as] sometimes used among African-Americans, in a neutral or familiar way.†Much like “cunt†in this neck of the woods, at least sometimes.noun

3. a victim of prejudice similar to that suffered by blacks; a person who is economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised.

Atheism+: where people really, really, don't understand their massive hypocrisy.And in real life, you don't get to pick up and move your ivory tower around so you're always insulated from criticism.
