[QUOTE="sschind, post: 916109, member: 10247"] Oh yes, I agree fully. The word is offensive and needs to be called out if for no other reason than to educate and understand like you said. Not necessarily to punish. Part of the problem is in todays society there seems to be less and less middle ground, what you might call the educational ground. That "rush" you spoke of in your last line cuts both ways. Everything seems to be going to one extreme or the other. Use an offensive term and half the world immediately brands you a racist and the other half says no big deal, grow up. I think in most case the reaction should be "that's not acceptable talk" and perhaps, if the situation warrants "this is why" I really like this part of your post [B]don't recognize it in the moment? [/B]I'm not sure exactly what you meant but what it means to me is that normally people would not use those words but in certain circumstances they just come out. I'm sure at one point or another we have all thought things that we knew it was best not to say. Sometimes we say them without thinking. Some might say that's because we in fact harbor racist feelings and that's why the word is in our vocabulary to begin with but to this I say BS. I agree but he didn't say we look Asian. I think we are all aware that there are some words we should just not use. What bothers me a bit, more than a bit really, is that everyone has to tip toe around the words. I've read many articles and only one had actually spelled the word out. I'm sure there are more but I stopped looking after I had my confirmation of what he said. All the others censored it in some way. When did reporting the facts become offensive. An article telling me what a person says is no way the same as the person saying it and just as I don't think saying it automatically makes a person racist I certainly don't think reporting it does. To be sure I've done it myself and in a way I'm a bit ashamed of myself. I'm afraid if I use the word the wrong people will se it and start thinking bad things about me...well other bad things. To be clear though, I don't think what he actually said is grounds for getting cut either. [/QUOTE]
