Were having this discussion on an international forum, online. People are making blanket statements about language without a scrap of distinction as to background or locale, just “white” and “black” and little else. Further back in this thread appears the phrase, Thanks for your assumption that I am an American, I am not.

So yes, the context I’m examining was very much on the table.

We are discussing an event that happened in the US. Social norms in other countries are not pertinent to the discussion. Do you think every single statement needs an explicit geographical qualifier regardless of context?

I think you haven’t kept track of the discussion or are intentionally arguing in a very narrow manner to nitpick. I’m not interested.
