Ok I read the article. Thx! I do think I'm using it in context. But not like you think. I will explain more (and sorry still haven't read all 12 pages just a few posts but I promise I will respond to all
But first.. Walk me through what is offensive to you
A) that I joked sue sue and others that left over call outs re: racism to them are race baiters?
B) that you think the word race baiting is racist, IS race baiting and should never ever be used? Like ever. Like flip flop? Like Indian-style? Bad. BAD WORD?
C) that I'm not crying in a corner, contrition all around; and that I actually think you SHOULD fuck off if you think you * I'm* a racist bigot and you can't read my post the way I intended it after I clarified a billion. Fucking. times
D) That you are a moron if you put words in my mouth and assume I'm calling YOU the race baiter. (again for clarification... I was joking I don't think anyone is)
We don't use this term in my culture because it has a history of being used as a racial slur for Filipinos and generically for Asians. We use slippers as a general term for shoes that slip on. I pause every time I hear it, but know most people don't realize.

Yes laz yes I was joking that she will be lumped in with a ton of ml regs who bailed over their insensitivity and will forever be known for it. and probably have their own board. Kidding again

I had no idea! Wow. At least I was able to learn something in this lukewarm mess of a thread.

ok so you're saying that her not so dearly departed and racially insensitive brethren spirited her away in solidarity? I think I get it.
Eta: upon further reading, I still don't get it. Fuck it, I tried.
Listen, you already invited me to fuck off so you probably don't care but I was pretty clear how I read your post, which appears to me to be the way 99% of the people in here read the post.
It and your subsequent follow ups came off as glib and insensitive, especially given that you weren't around at all when the real serious shit was going down but then referenced it like you were all up on the details.
I will continue to fuck off, but remain convinced that my reading skills and relative intelligence level aren't in doubt.

What can I call the thong sandals if slipper connotes something else? Thong makes me think of underwear. Hmmmm.

I never knew that! And I dated a half Filipino for 3 years. In Florida no less. Thanks for sharing.

I've mostly heard the term on the west coast and Hawaii. It may be more of a regional issue? We use slippers for thongs and other sandals. We call inside slippers house shoes because no one ever wears outside shoes inside, lol.
