I've been hearing "tribal" used more often lately to describe the racial and ethnic polarization in the US. Maybe people are offended by the word but it does convey the users meaning and I don't think that the meaning is necessarily offensive. It's just a description of how people with stuff in common tend to stick together. That can be race, politics, religion, income, etc.When you say that blacks would be offended you probably mean by the potential interpretation of "tribal" to mean a primitive group of people. Obviously that's not what was meant here. He should have used a different word to describe people that are sticking together. Would "clan" work for you? ;) |
