As much as it may surprise people here, calling someone a negro is only inacceptable in North America. Do it anywhere else, and there is no derogatory connotation with it.

I never once jumped on him...

I was just saying why I though what he said could be offensive.

I personally see no problem with calling a person a 'negro'

What bothered me was that he said a Canadian and a negro.... as if the Negro was not a Canadian. There are many countries where you are not a truly recognized citizen if you have a different skin colour...

If he said a white girl and a negro girl I dont think anyone would have said anything.

This lady speaks the truth.. Where Windsor has a couple not so pleasant spots, practically half the city of Hamildump is a goddamned ghetto.

We can't forget other equally trashy locales in our great province, including (but not limited to):

• Nearly the entire Fort William area of Thunder Bay
  
• Adelaide St. & Montreal Rd. in lovely Kingston
  
• An overwhelming majority of Brampton

Originally posted by Jayx1 Terminology and social interaction in most places in the world would outright offend most canadians. As i see it, the problem is not with them. It's with the fact that we are willing to stress out over every little politically incorrect term or joke or expression. I learned this lesson while living in argentina. People will call each other gordito or "little fatty" to fat people as a pet name and its acceptable. Or "negrito" (little blackie) to those latins with darker skin. In fact everyone has a pet name to a degree. I was "el importado" (the imported) or "yanqui de hielo" (ice yankee). Imagine calling those types of names to an immigrant in canada? Yikes!

I was taking a statement from a guy who owns a Landscaping Business....and he referred to his seasonal help as "His Mexicans". Never did he refer to them as seasonal help...just His Mexicans and it didn't phase him one bit.

I love writing shit like that in statements for work.

HELL YES!! Lease, I hope you don't think I'm driving here for our date

Hold on a second. Was this the cab driver that was assaulted by 2 girls? Something doesn't seem right about the story when i read it in the paper. My condolances to him and his family and get well wishes of course. That being said I would like the whole story sometime soon.

Regardless violence of any kind is wrong. Now on to the question is Windsor dangerous?
Ide have to say No. Our crime rate is low, and thats saying something especially since were so close to one of the world's top crime cities. That being said Windsor is probably the most depressed economy in the country right now. People tend to get desperate and do some crazy things to keep food on the table, heck the Big 3 out here are set to become the big 0.

I don't ever feel unsafe here.
