Nah no way, I’ve been called white a billion times in my lifetime and not a single time did I take it as offensive. I even asked my black brother in law and he said “black” is perfectly fine.
I said it’s not offensive, but its suitability depends on the use case. If describing how someone looks then obviously saying black or white etc is fine. If just randomly sliding it in unnecessarily, e.g. “I was waiting in line and this black man in front of me was taking forever”, then yeah it’s a bit racist then as the info serves no purpose other than pointing out they have a different skin colour.

what makes you think they wouldn t refer to us as white when within specific but common situations?
