Steve, > many years ago, "boy" was a derogatory term, as you've seen highlighted in the movie "Smokey and the Bandit", "Hey boy". I haven't seen that movie, but I've seen many other movies and shows where "boy" was used as a derogatory term, sometimes racially. Same in real life, too. Maybe the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, CA, which just banned the "N-word" after "Cosmo Kramer" went ballistic, should also ban the word "uppity." And "boy." And ... Political correctness run amok ...
