Keeping the conversation rolling, I asked, "Have you ever been to the bay area?" FTR, the guy is Asian, with an accent. As I was asking this I had the slight thought(is this racist of me to ask???) I think because I almost asked if he WAS from Cali.
Anyways, in reply he says, "Oh yeah, I've been to Oakland. There's A LOT of black people there."
WTF?!?!?!?

Well, he was telling the truth...There's A LOT of black people there. There are also A LOT of black people in Harlem. There are also A LOT of white people in Wyoming...Is that racist? If so - I'm racist I guess.
Wait - am I racist for saying "black" people? Should I have said "African American" people instead? By the same token, am I racest for saying "white" people? Should I have said "caucasian" instead?
The whole PC deal is so old.
