I thought GG explained it well. I'll try again. By saying you're acting like a black man, a white man or even Jew is intended as an insult. I've heard Jew used as derogatory word many times but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be used. Years ago if you called a mentally challenged person a retard it wasn't insulting just matter of fact. If you called a normal person retard, it was implying negative connotations to retard, so the PC policy banned the word.
They're now trying to change Black to African American which is why I used it as an example, being he mentioned the n word. My point is if you replace the n word with black man it has the same meaning and just as bad. That doesn't mean you should change the word, just stop using it in a negative way. Clear as mud now?
