Calling someone black is like calling them stupid? Am I reading that correctly?
I don't think she meant that the way you are taking it, though, I can see your point.

As to what is wrong with saying, "that black man's shoes..."....I personally don't like identifying someone by colour, or ethnic origin...I wouldn't do it with a white person...

btw, I am white.
