The jackasses who made these claims are the ones linking race to what is otherwise a descriptive color. "Black mark" has nothing to do with race. I guess if a guy gets punched in the eye, you can't call it a "black eye?" What about black friday? I guess Native Americans should be upset when a company says they are "in the red." This PC bullsh*t makes me sick.

People need to lighten up. I was at a meeting last week and the office had a coffee machine that also made cappuchino. I'm Italian, and my co-worker said, "Oh, you'd like that." I didn't take offense to it. But if I had said to a black guy, "Oh fried chicken, you'd like that," I'd be labeled a racist. WTF?
