It seems a weird and very specific label applied to people of a very particular skin colour and heritage, to avoid using the word black, even though that’s not, on its own, a racist term. It’s just a descriptive visual trait, like tall, thin, white, muscly, gaunt, etc.
I would look at how african americans label themselves. How white people label them is irrelevant to the discussion imo.
i agree with you except the conversation is mostly among white folk about how to label Black vernacular, hence why it always feels at least a little racist.
