Original Note:
“In most situations, the word "boy" is not a problem. Used to describe a Black man, however, the word is troublesome. That's because historically, White people routinely described Black men as boys to suggest they weren't on equal footing with them.” https://www.thoughtco.com/terms-many-dont-know-are-racist-2834522 https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/takeaway/segments/93569-when-word-boy-and-isnt-discriminatory https://www.littler.com/publication-press/publication/context-counts-word-boy-may-be-racial-epithet-work
