However I will admit that I cringe whenever I hear the terms 'black people' or 'white people' etc... how about just plain old 'people', without the skin-colour prefix?

Yep, same here. ANYONE that cannot read or write in this day and age is sad. Reading and writing IMO is a gift, and once learned can take you as far. I see some young folks these days (12-18) and I worry they will able to make it in life. I dunno, just worries me--ANY color.
