What are some slang terms used among police officers?
The most derogatory terms for the bad guys and citizens who are just pains in the rectum:A.H. = Adam Henry (A-dam H-enry) If you don’t get it…..sometimes you will hear it as “Jack Hole”…..now what starts with an “A” that ends with HOLE ?RICHARD CRANIUM= What starts with a “D” and is a nickname for Richard ? What is the non-medical layman’s term for the Cranium ? Do these clues HEAD you in the right direction ?
Is President Obama considered black considering his mother is white and he was not raised by a black family?
It's his choice to self-identify as whatever he pleases, especially because he does have the biological backing to do it. I always think it's so funny that I have to self-identify as Asian, when clearly a lot of people use that term to refer to Chinese, Korean and Japanese people (among others).To actually address your question: I can understand why you would think it would be "racist" for Obama to pick a side. Although I'm not mixed race, I guess I fall on the "American Born Confused Desi" spectrum, and I can tell you that the peers of my generation are all pretty widely scattered around this spectrum. Some of them are so white-washed, the only thing I have in common with them is brown skin. Some of them, like me, try desperately to hold on to vestiges of desi culture that our equally desperate parents tried to impart in us while growing up. When asked whom I pledge allegiance to patriotically, I say the following: Canadian by citizenship and support for healthcare, American financially, and Indian at heart. What a muddle. The barista at the NYC Starbucks didn't believe me when I pronounced the accent grave in crème, being a stubborn Canadian, claiming damn it, I took French in high school. Sardonically, he said, "it's cream, lady. Cream." Crushing my stupid Canadian Indian American heart. In different circumstances, different aspects of my Americanness, Canadianness and Indianness stand out.Outwardly, I just find it easier to say, hey, I'm Indian. Obama has an equally, if not more diverse background. Being black, from my understanding, can be a defining trait in your life, much the same way my brown skin defines me. And it's not racist to identify yourself with that.
