Re: MentorNet (one woman's response)




Here's a rule: only Blacks are allowed to use the word
"nigger"*, likewise for
"girls", etc.

I was told this by a very black Sociology TA, who used it in conversation
occasionally.

Except for the NY City ballet. There all females are girls and all males
are boys. This tradition was in use under Mr. B (Balanchine) and I suspect
is still in use. I don't know if it is also the rule in other dance troups.
