No, but come to think of of that is something like you might say or ask when you don't agree with someone on this board.

Ha! Didn't take me too long to figure that out, thankfully. I'm with you; it continues to puzzle me how they stay in business. Massive cash infusions from parent Time-Warner?!?

Canada is a lot whiter than the US, but the term "visible minorities" that they use up there is a lot cooler than the zealous way we try to divide all the races in the US

I think 'stinker' may have come after 'wino' and before 'jobless'.
You're close, but no---actually,"stinkers" evolved into the "unsanitary"..who then were softened to the "aromatically obvious"........who then became "occasional bathers", and eventually, in a more empathetic tone, "the hydrologically deprived"...but you're learning...

The principal should be fired for what she said to the child.

If they're brown, they're brown. Using the term "brown people" is not exactly a "hate" crime.

Public educators can be so disappointing at times. They try too hard in areas like this, and not enough when it comes to the actual teaching.

I think it's an outrage that this little WHITE kid should speak so disrespectfully of others. He should be made to apologize by writing "I'm Sorry" 100 times on the BLACKboard...
after all, if he's allowed to get away with the expression "Brown People", it's only a matter of time before the little gutter-mouth begins spouting off about "White People", or "Black People"....and after that, who knows? Better to "nip it in the bud"...before he spots his buddy with a box of Crayolas, and refers to him as a "person of Color".
