This article is not racist, just because it makes a few points about race, first off. Come on.

That being said, I do echo the comments about "Sis," that have been made. It is the only term in this article that I have not seen described as cultural appropriation anywhere else. (Which is not to say it is not described as such anywhere else. I mention this only because I do in fact, as a white male, do research on the regular articles and Tweets written by POC to make sure I am not unintentionally appropriating. As of this writing I have not found "Sis," among the forbidden words.

I have in fact only ever called my younger literal sister "Sis," or "Sissy," because I was able to speak it when I was two. It's capitalized on Christmas cards and everything. I have no memory of my life before her, and obviously she has no memory without me. It would be unthinkable for us both to call her anything but that. She, I, and my mother that coached me to first say it as a toddler only ever considered it a diminutive of the word "sister."

I will continue my journey to do better, which means I will continue to read up, and listen to the voices of POC. Should a point of critical mass of many sources in my future indicate that "Sis," is in fact offensive to African-Americans due to it being appropriation, I will ask forgiveness at that time for the appropriation I could not ever possibly quit using. Calling my sister, "Sis."
