People are overly sensitive in the U.S. I'm not surprised this term offended someone, despite the fact it is inoffensive. [/ QUOTE ] I'm curious. What does the word "inoffensive" mean to you?

[ QUOTE ]  [/ QUOTE ] Beautifully done. [/ QUOTE ] Great post. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] And yeah - mulatto can only be used in 3 situations: 1) When singing Nirvana's "Smells like Teen Spirit" 2) When discussing cross-mixing of animals like some birds. 3) When discussing the Spanish policy of "cleaning the blood" within Latin America. (hence why the term takes offence)
