Now regarding your use of 'blackies' in reference to black people, I don't know if that is an Asian thing or a Canadian thing however its not cool nor the word to play to someone who is Black/Brown/or Yellow(Black&White). The word 'Blackie' comes off as offensive and definitely a 'TURN-OFF' for me. Consider dropping the word and refrain from using it any further if you want to be successful communicating on here.
