What about your point? Do you have a suggestion as to what African American's should be called? If so, doesn't this beg the question as to anointed you, as a Caucasian, to decide what a Negroid should be called.  
'Paternalism,' is the word you're looking for.

People are too sensitive.

You may be right. If someone calls me whitey, I'm okay with it.

Negroid? Is that a black robot?

Did you watch the Morgan Freeman clip?  He is right. All of us should focus on the person, and the name of that person, then just pointing and saying: "The white guy over there, or the black dude...........

Color is a big part in the divide.

N i g e r is a country and a river in Africa. Not a city.

Edit: and it sure as fuck shouldn't get auto-changed to "guy" FFS.

Oh yeah we used to have a field day seeing that one on the globe way back in the third grade.

I've been called all sorts of things. As long as I'm paid, I don't give a damn.
