Political Corectness September 3, 2007
S. Hengy (Florida)
You know the problem I have with this book is that they refer to black girls as "African American" and white girls as "white girls." Using the term "white girl" to a Caucasian is like calling her a honky. Why do the authors use the politically correct term "African American" and not "Caucasian." I am totally turned off by this blatant misuse of verbiage.
