(I want my teeths in shape and don't want to get punched from a huge person)
I am from punjab; and we sikhs live there. but I still remember other guys pointing to us as 12'oclock. and it was really a pain, when someone do this without knowing the truth behind it.
so what was the pain associated with word "n". that is what I am upto.........
The point everyone is trying to make Duncan is that it is not a word we use in this day and age to describe a black person. It is not considered politically correct and is in fact considered demeaning and offensive to some.

My two cents:
The article you linked here put the word Negro in "quotations". This means that it was referencing a policy which was developed in a particular year.
That doesnt infer an association that blacks are still called Negro.
Also, the website is from Jamaica. What is their slant? what is their political view of Canada and its immigration policy?
Id take this article as a poll or opinion piece only.

If this website had been from China, you'd have the PC police on your back

U cannot use derogatory words against people in a multicultural society. We all know black people have suffered alot of racism from whites. so please don not start a new chapter.
