[quote=flu]Possibly by accident if I’m at the San Diego Zoo and with my daughter and see a black monkey. “Hey kiddo, there’s that black monkey”.[/quote]
Hah, well I would argue that in that context, it’s perfectly ok to describe a black monkey, even if there happen to be African Americans around. Mostly because… well, you’re looking at a black monkey.
Similarly, it would be perfectly fine for an African American to call a box of white crackers a bunch of “white crackers.”
