""And yes, I agree that Black people should be the ones to decide what they want to be called. In fact, all non-white ethnic groups should be the ones deciding what they should be called..""

That pretty neatly excludes white people from the same consideration, wouldn't you say?

Do you feel happy with the idea of being called "Cueball", or "Honkey", by those who want you to accept their own names for themselves?

Shouldn't these courtesies and considerations apply to all human beings, whether minorities or majorities?

White American and White British are ethnic groupings, are they not?
