The term "slaving away"

[joecash]

I used this term to a black guy without thinking. He didn't say anything - just wondering if he could have been offended or no big deal?

After you say it, ask him if he knows Aunt Jemima to top it off.

Yeah, hes probably offended. You should apologize and give him a small gift. Nothing ostentatious, just a bucket of fried chicken or a watermelon or something.

I've never met a black person in my life who was even remotely as ultra sensitive as a typical Real World type black housemate or other similar typical portrayals of oft offended black people in the media. I doubt he even noticed.

To this particular person, I think it was unappropriate. I'm not sure if he think offense or not but I assume most black people don't appreciate such a derogatory remark.
