Also, I apologize if my explanation upset you because that was not my intention.  I was simply explaining why I didn't think the term was useful.  Nothing personal, just an observation of the way we use words and ideas.  And I think that is a completely legitimate, objective, impersonal comment to make here or anywhere.  I write some really offensive stuff.  I am not offended by "Magic Negro."  I just think it's problematic.  Anyone is welcome to critique the things I say.  But it would be best if we could all do that without getting personal.  I don't "have a problem."  I am critiquing language.  We can do that here.
