I have to agree with Kyle on this one. I don't think any slang
phrase referring to race should be used in a polite social setting.
Even though a name might not be associated with bigotry, it still
produces a barrier between various races...Although I don't think it
is wrong for you to refer to the fact that you like music by people
from a certain area, I don't feel any race should be lumped into any
sort of slang word...I am not trying to argue, just want to put in my
little opinion...Sarah
