Is ethnic a bad word now? I can't keep up. I though I was complimenting her. Looks like the pc police are going to torpedo what could've been a promising thread. Sorry guys.
I'm apologizing to the community, not the polizei.
It's not a bad word, but for me personally, it's a weak and unnecessary way to describe anyone, ever. Things change over time, one of them is certainly our use of language. I am always hoping that our compassion, respect, and understanding of our fellow man is also changing for the better.
