      You never let me answer before your smarmy remark. But beleive it or not back then, yes you could. Are white people actually ‘white’? Are black people actually ‘black’? It was a means to denote race the same as black and white is these days. My point was I didn’t realise this term was an actual insult now but it’s good to know. Have off with your lol
