I’ve grown quite a passion for taking professional looking photos and always strive to find a way to make the picture to life like you said and always looking for advice to become better at it and very appreciative that you introduced me to Snapseed the application is very intuitive and never have to worry about compromising the quality of the pictures I take and edit after they are shot

My point is that the word doesn't matter. It could be anything. If it's offensive to someone then you can either be a normal member of society and stop offending people or you can demand that society conform to your own particular standards. We have a name for people like that and it's not a nice one.

A good example is the Washington Redskins. That name wasn't offensive to most of the fans of the team or of football, in general. But it was offensive to some people. Dan Snyder didn't care at all about those people, so he didn't change the name until he was publicly shamed for it.

You certainly have the right to continue to knowingly offend people, but understand that most people do not like people who go around carelessly throwing around offensive terms. I certainly do not and will avoid them like the plague.

I’m not trying to be inflammatory, but can someone explain what is offensive about the name “the caucasian”? His follow up about “the negro”, which I take as an off-color joke, is obviously still over a line whether he meant it or not. But, if it’s a White Russian, it seems obvious it’s a play on the Caucasian mountains or the Caucasus. What’s the issue?

This whole thing sounds so stupid to be honest. I mean, if the claim that he wanted to name a drink “the negro” the following week then I don’t think that would be appropriate but losing their mind over a drink called “the Caucasian?” I mean come on. We have a drink called a White Russian. What exactly is the problem here that they wanted to walk out over a drink called “The Caucasian” that is basically a White Russian? The owner also could have his renamed it something else. All sides here just sound stupid.
