Good points, but in certain contexts, one has to make reference to their...whatever...."minority type". If there is a conversation about race, is a black person going to want to use "black" or "African American"?...etc. Sure, stuff like that shouldn't come up when you're just walking/rolling down the boardwalk windowshopping surf shops, or sitting at home with the significant other watching The Notebook, or whatever. It's irrelevant then.
