    Well written. To add: “Boy” coming from a white person to a black man is even more offensive, what with all the chattel slavery history and whatnot.

        He specifically mentioned “in the context of the US”.

        If he had been talking about any other English-speaking country, I’d say it would be somewhat irrelevant.

        But it most certainly isn’t when talking about the US, especially southern US.
