Four of us were driving back from lunch last week. I was in the back having a separate conversation, but I heard my friend up front use a racial slur. I can't imagine any context that would excuse this, but I think it was something along the lines of, "what do they call those, oh yeah, ..."
I thought he was cool, and now I'm all grossed out.
if it was reference to someone African American I love to whip out pictures of my half black grandbaby and ask them to look at them.
It was not, it was in reference to someone of middle eastern descent. I think I take that one more personally, if you will, because I have a lot of friends from there. This was also a favorite slur of XH, so it just made me that much more pissed off when I heard it.
