| The term "white folk" or "black folk" I find very demeaning. | |

| I loathe it too, but it seems to be the mot juste for the moment. (Its' strained conviviality is preferable to the aural assault of "BIPOC".) Just like avoiding buying green bananas, getting too comfortable with any of these expressions is unwise, as someone will deem them offensive soon enough. | |

| Do you find it demeaning in the title of the classic book by W.E.B. DuBois, "The Souls of Black Folk"? If so, you might want to read the book. It's about ... the souls of ...black folk. | |
