Kind of like "Angry black woman"

I actually took a 911 call where the caller described his assailant as "one big angry black woman". Of course, the other dispatcher was taking a call from the "angry black woman"! (skinny white boy hit voluptous, well endowed black woman's brand new car--yeah she was angry! She did actually assault the guy)
LOL......you know??? After I posted this, I thought, I can see where someone could be offended by this word, or any other word, for that matter. Hell, some people get in a huff over someone calling them "sweetie", and I'm not talking about when it's said here. I do see where it could offend someone, but, that does not make it racist.
