nowadays things changed a lot, they dont react violently when you calling them black, as evident by the character Delaney in Zack and Miri make a porno:

when the boss ask him to work on black friday, he responded by saying this:
how about mooley monday? you want me to work on nigger tuesday too? do you have any idea how racist that sounds when you asking me to work on black friday?

again he referencing oprah(a black too) that he'll get oprah rich when he got his claim.



and again, a customer asking: can i get a cup of coffee, black?
he responded: cant you see we talking, white?



i love that movie!
