I had a student who thought it was racist for a white person to use the word black. I took her to the window and pointed to my car and asked her how I should describe the color. I also showed her a picture of my kitten and asked what color I should use to describe her. The words black or white are no more or less than any other color names. They are not somehow “owned” by any group of people.
