Until I googled it, I had never heard the term nappy being used about African hair. I had only ever heard it used in reference to diapers. Therefore, my use of the word would never have been used as a racial slur, despite the fact that there are too many people in the world who think there is a right to be offended. |

Yes, here if you used it as nappy headed or nappy haired it would be a slur, I have never heard anyone here in the US ever call a diaper a nappy, but I did know they use that term for diapers in other countries.

To me, nappy is the the texture of material like corduroy, which I know is not really referring to the nap of a material, it's just my way of describing it, but if I used it like nappy headed, it would be disrespectful and I would definitely know it.

That's another classic dual meaning slang term. Good one. |

The only racial possible is a person with extremely curly hair (need not be African American) who hasn't evened it out but lets it stick up oddly in places. AKA 'bed head' (can also use term Nappy on straight european looking hair sticking out all ways and directions). THat cook show host with the dine ins and dives, he's nappy headed. |

And one fine Canadian professor has weighed in on that emphatically: http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...fending-people A Canadian professor questions a key tenet of current Leftist thinking. Earlier this week, Professor Jordan Peterson of the University of Toronto burst into the international headlines again, this time thanks to a shockingly polite interview with British interviewer Cathy Newman. The entire interview was an insipid exercise in Newman attempting to cram her own words into Petersons mouth; as Conor Friedersdorf of The Atlantic points out, Newmans technique was to restate what [Peterson] said so as to make it seem as if [his] view is offensive, hostile, or absurd. Peterson, with the patience and mildness of a saint, doggedly refused to be boxed in that way. But the segment of the interview that grabbed the publics imagination wasnt Petersons discussion of the wage gap or the biology of hierarchical relationships. It was a very simple exchange over the value of truth. Newman questioned Peterson on why he refused to go along with the trendy leftist cause du jour: using pronouns chosen by individuals rather than pronouns that describe their biology. Why should your freedom of speech trump a trans persons right not to be offended? Newman asked. Peterson, ever the gentleman, answered the question without guffawing: Because in order to be able to think, you have to risk being offensive. I mean, look at the conversation were having right now. Youre certainly willing to risk offending me in the pursuit of truth. Why should you have the right to do that? Its been rather uncomfortable. Newman misdirected: Well, Im very glad Ive put you on the spot. But Peterson pursued: Well, you get my point. Youre doing what you should do, which is digging a bit to see what the hell is going on. And that is what you should do. But youre exercising your freedom of speech to certainly risk offending me, and thats fine. More power to you, as far as Im concerned. Newman had no answer. Point to Peterson. But despite Petersons obvious logic, the Left refuses to concede this particular point. Any statement any statement must be gauged not only on the basis of its truth-value, according to the Left, but on the basis of whether such truth is likely to offend or, at least, whether such truth is likely to offend groups the Left perceives as victimized. According to the Left, any and all truth must take a back seat to your truth, so long as you claim minority status in any way. Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...fending-people |

No. They can avoid being offended by accepting that they sun does not rise and set on them alone. A single benign comment can offend a number of people in different ways. |

I have never heard > any native-born American refer to diapers as "nappies". Basically it's thought of as "unruly." Normally as in hair. I only used dreadlocks as an example of one version. Ask any american except Jill and they will say the same. It's common in the USA. And of course, we all know that nappy is a diaper in the UK and probably many places. Know what my local indians used for "nappies/diapers" hundreds of years ago? Spanish moss. |

I've heard "nappy headed" for years. I have never heard any native-born American refer to diapers as "nappies". Cindy Hamilton ===== I have never heard an American call them nappies either, but I sure have heard *nappy* used other ways. Cheri |

I have never seen it used in any context other than describing a black person's hair. My hair often is unruly, but nobody would use "nappy" to describe it. Cindy Hamilton |

We always called them 'towels'. Have we ever called them 'diapers'? |

Same here. They're always diapers. I only ever heard them referred to as nappies on BBC or other UK programming. >> Basically it's thought of as "unruly." > > I have never seen it used in any context other than describing > a black person's hair. My hair often is unruly, but nobody > would use "nappy" to describe it. Also true, it describes black people's hair but not that it's unruly, just the texture of it. I feel like there's a derogatory connotation to its use, at least by non-black people. I wouldn't go there. nancy |
