Today, my tennis coach showed up to practice in an all white outfit. I exclaimed, "You're looking very white today!" He's African American. FML

i really do wish people would just say "black" instead of "african american." i mean, when people start calling british black people "african americans," we've crossed the line.

If you're going to call someone black an African American, you can call white people Caucasian.

I feel like I might understand that what you were trying to say was positive, but please, don't skip English class next time.

Back in the 30's and such, it was a compliment to be called "white." Eg. "That's mighty white of you, sir" (The Blue Dahlia; 1946).
Maybe he took it as such.
Probably not, though.
