*I know some "brown people" who don't like to be referred to as such. I'd report that to the mods but.. well.. you guys are the mods.
Do ya?
Because the last time I used "Brown person" in actual face to face convo, it went like this:
I walk into a bar in West Reading, PA, which is like Mexico City, without the polite stormtroopers..
Me: Hey man, did two girls show up here?
Bartender: Theres been some, what'd they look like?
Me: One super-cute blonde, one brown girl.
Bartender: Brown hair, or brown skin?
Me: Both.
Bartender: Nope, not with a super-cute blondie.
The bartender was about six foot fourteen, muscles that hurt to look at, and brown. Spiderwebs on his elbows, all that shit.
If you're in a city, the lsat thing you wanna do is call a 'Rican a Mexican, or any of that shit. They get hostile. But "brown" usually doesn't piss people off if you're not being a dick about it. Its better than tippy-toeing through the labyrinth of Latina, if you're not latino. That just sounds stupid. And Hispanic sounds like a cop, so avoid that.
