Gia. As a "white"? Guy, I may mistakenly use a similar verbiage. Ebony? Chocolate? I'm not trying to be an ass... but we have Asians we refer them as Asians without really knowing if they are third generation Canadian.
I would mistakenly believe that "coloured" or similar term used respectfully would be acceptable ( here I am opening myself up to a verbal lashing) so what would a proper descriptor be that would be appropriate?
As we've met, and I believe you found me respectful, I'll hope you receive the question as intended. Respectfully seeking information.
Btw... am I a white guy? Cracker? Pasty? Casper?
