The Walking Dead: The Television Series

Yeah I really thought they'd take that storyline with the negro father and son somewhere. (Am I allowed to say negro these days? I'm so confused about what's considered racist and not in the States...)

What I also liked about the first episodes is that the zombies still had some personality left. The wife still knew where she lived. The zombie girl still walked around with her bunny doll.
I guess the writers ran out of ideas after that, because I never have got the same feeling again after that.

Negro is not usually an acceptable term, it's something you only hear really old people say, and then everyone kind of stands there being uncomfortable.

It's kind of absurd what's considered racist and what isn't. For some reason "black" is not racist. Neither is "African-American", even though a lot of dark skinned people are not of African decent.

I feel pretty confident saying that the PC term these days is "black." I do see African American used in some literature still, especially with respect to census stuff, statistics, medical stuff, and sociology/psychology. But yeah.

Angrist, if you do come to the States...don't say "Negro." I mean, you might get away with it, it just depends if you are (a) sexy, (b) have a sexy accent.

Oh! I have a negro friend! Maybe he knows your negro friend?
