Please don't call people 'ang moh' ('red hair') if they don't like it. How would you like to be called 'slitty eyes' or 'chink' in the US or Europe?

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words and others' perceptions can never hurt me.

So long you don't add the 'devil' behind it.

Ooophs. 7th month lah. Many spirits around.

If not angmoh than what to call?

European?

How to say 'European' in Chinese dialects or Mandarin?

Ow Chou ren?

Si Fung ren?

or what?

What I know is that many Europeans do not like white Americans either. I came across some anti-American Europeans who told me that they viewed white Americans as descendants of rejects from Europe.

I thought "Whites" the common term used.

Dear Dr Gil, regardless what term is used, be proud of your background.
