I was hanging out in Paterson, NJ a few months ago with a bunch of spanish people and one black guy. Of course I'm instantly labelled "white boy". Does it bother me? No. Later at this woman's house I was talking to my friend about something that transpired earlier in the evening. I mention "the black guy" since he was the only one and I never caught his name.

My friend flipped out on me, tried to shush me. I had no clue wtf she was talking about till she said "they're black!" referring to the house owner in a whisper. I just told her "I'm sure they know they are black. How else would you have me refer to the only black guy there earlier? I never got his name."

Am I just whacked out? Is it really a bad thing to call a black guy black or what?
