and i ask:

isn't that a shakespeare line?

as to blackness and PC, do blacks take offence when referred to as blacks?
how about ''african american''? do blacks/african americans feel that
''african american'' is a euphuism, thus insulting? what if the black person
is canadian or jamaican? is [s]he still an african american? we once talked
about ''native americans'' but i can't remember the conclusions.
