I followed that thread...the only thing that I would say is that the term "the blacks" does marginalize. It typically is used as a means to separate communities, so no, you would not use it if you wanted to be the current flavor of pc.

I do take issue with "ANY" label, particularly if it is used to separate communities...perhaps its a result of living in a community which has MANY different groups represented or perhaps my own petpeeve that my kids, even in todays society, are still being asked about their ethnic origin...They are Americans, period.
