Making people and ideas findable
Insulted by Ebonics - Do you unknowingly stereo type other people?
Do you think that I am being over sensitive? If you are white, do you address African-Americans differently? If you are African-American, does it insult you when whites address you in Ebonics when they don’t know you? Let me know what you think.
