Do you think that people get offended by beeing called "black" or "white" or any other thing that is considered racist because they have problems about accepting to be different?

No. They're just racist.

I don't get offended when I'm being categorized by my race unless the person doing the categorizing is trying to be offensive....or stereotyping. I mean, it's annoying when people automatically assume I know how to braid hair because I'm black - I just CAN'T DO IT, okay?!!

I am italian and I hate being called white. I am italian, a Ginny, Dego, WOP. I always mark other on every application and write in Italian. Weird, not for me as Italy is where I was born and raised...;) +up

My best friend is black, and doesn't mind being called such. She doesn't like to be called African American because, as she says, she's never been to Africa. I don't mind being called white, even though I'm Native American, unless the person is trying to belittle me because of it (i.e., "What would a white girl know about that?"). But that's just me not liking idiocy; it has nothing to do with the white vs. Native American thing.

It doesn't offend me. People who get offended for being called what they are should accept that we live in a colorful world with much diversity.
