Choosing the right word....?
My first language is not English but Japanese so I still have a problem of choosing a right word. And my American husband's dad corrected me before because I called black people black people. Well, I had a car accident at a parking lot last year and I needed to report the accident to my car insurance company. And I called the company and told that there were a black couple who kindly talked to me and checked me if I was ok or not. I described the couple as a black couple because they are black people. Well, if they were an asian couple, I would describe them as asians, and if they were white, I would describe them as whites. Anyways, I told about that to my husband's dad who is white and he got really upset and told me that describing them as a black couple means I was prejudice against black people. So if I see black people, I would describe them as people not black people. But anyways, in that situation, I shouldn't describe black people as black people but just people?

You could at least have a go. So. If you'll go through and put in your choice for each missing word, put it just before the brackets, I'll let you know which ones are wrong. That's the best deal you'll get from me. EDIT: Your list that you emailed me is 100% correct. Well done; a great improvement over your previous list.
