Writing papers about diverse cultures is definitely a challenge for me. Mainly because I have to use specific words to address certain people to make sure that I don’t offend them. When I interview someone, for example, and the person was African American, I’d have to make sure that he or she is fine with me using African American in my paper; maybe he or she prefers me using the term "black" instead. The last thing I’d want to do is get him or her angry.
