I recently referred to someone as black to an egyptian blogger friend of mine. She thought I was being derogatory. I asked her what she would call a black person and she said. "We don't discriminate". So my question is, if Wesley snipes came to visit you in Egypt and he got lost, how would you describe him to the police? BOB I gott question for an Egyptian.
