Liberal media or not, I do catch myself being racist sometimes...

 

...a pregnant coworker once told me that she planned to name her baby "D'Angelo," and the first thought that popped into my mind was: is her husband black? I thought he was Mexican. ​

Tyesha and Shanequa do get offended quicker than most folks.

 

Is that Raysis ? I've found some black women that always have to be upset about something. It's sad.

 

Waiter always has it out for them. 10 other people at the table have no issues.

Check yo privilege, whitey.

That's not being racist any more than it's racist of Sheila Jackson Lee to complain that we never use African American names for hurricanes. Names based on ethnicity go back to my Italian uncle Guido, and beyond.

 

You hear the name "Juan" and you think Latino because it's a predominantly Latino name. You hear the name "La'quisha" and you think African American. You hear the name "birdog" and you think uneducated white guy. None of it is racist.
