    The term, originally spelled “thick,” dates back to the 90s and was used in black culture in reference to women, Dictionary.com says.

    Can we stop this “black culture” bull shit too? At this point, it’s just American culture. Why are we segregatting a questionably sexist term now?

    Stop categorizing every little thing as “black” or “white”. An American started the term for a specific purpose, and Americans still use it today with a broader application.

      Honestly, it’s not even sexist anymore. I’ve seen it used to refer to men almost as often as women.

      Fucking right? I grew up in schools where urban vernacular was very popular, so it’s interwoven into my casual speech. But SJW’s would have you believe I’m culturally appropriating lingo because of the color of my skin, despite the fact that it’s part of my upbringing. So much of modern anti-racism is just moar racism.
