Well yeah in Colombia I know mami and papi are terms of endearment (amongst some sections of the populace) as well as having the literal meaning of mummy and daddy. Makes me cringe all the same, however is it really any worse than the seemingly more accepted "baby" (or babe)? IMO, no, they all give me minor cringes
A VERY disturbing thing to think and say with its racial overtones.
And whilst the colour of skin doesn't change anything, for me I gotta say yeah I pay attention to it. I am a fan of *all* skin-tones. It's another physical attribute to be attracted to, or not. Like big or small boobs, (also natural or enhanced), short or tall people, thin or chubby, blonde, brunette or redhead or even smiling or resting bitch-face
