Though you may not be familiar with the term, calling a black person 'nappy headed' is insultive. Yes, our hair is more coarse and curly, but that particuular phrase is really only used with contempt. Whether or not he meant it that way, he raised hackles.
Honestly, I was WAY more offended by the 'jigaboo' comment made by the person he was talking to. |
