Geez, I guess I can’t ever enroll my half-Filipino kids in gymnastics, lest they be asked to do a “flip”.
I regularly and affectionately call them monkeys when they’re climbing on stuff, and I also call them cats, pot pies (golden brown on the outside, yummy food on the inside), and coconut heads (fuzzy and brown). Nobody seems to mind that. But mention “watermelon” around a black person and see how fast you get called a racist. I scrapped plans to make a set of watermelon potholders and dishcloths for sale, lest I offend someone.
