I hate when people call me a cracker for being white.

Fat and dumb for being American.

Makes my blood boil so bad! I I dream that night on how I would murder them if I could without getting in trouble.


you need help

You allow people to say this to you?

i wouldnt allow it, but sometimes there is nothing you can do. (mostly on the internet) what i dont do is dream about how i would murder them if i could not get into trouble.

I am glad we had this chat. Thanks.

 

You have seen me post 38,000 times. I was not serious. I do not care about any racial slurs. But I know how to respect people and not say them.

i had a feeling you werent serious, but sometimes its hard to figure out with you anyways i didnt mean to offend you in any way. 

also, im certain i havent seen all 38,000 posts of yours!



What about saying something Sexist?



Depends on the context, but overall they are equal as their main purpose is to degrade people.

I guess I could rephrase the question to:  Which slur, if made public, would cause more backlash from society/media.


I would think racial would cause more backlash.

However, I would feel least comfortable being caught making a homophobic one.  

Honestly, I jokingly use slurs.  I have used most of the racial ones, a few ethnic ones, and I use the homo ones towards gay people as a joke (considering he does it himself).  The only time someone got upset was when I didn't even direct the comment at a person and just made a pun.  I simply used the word "white trash" to describe a white paper bag filled with various junk someone left behind and the guy (who was white) was all pissed off and saying how he isn't offended, but someone else might be.  Which is weird, because I've made other "racial" comments around this guy and he said nothing.

Well ... in those terms I'd say racial might take the lead (to some extent etnhic). I think homophobic slurs would trail. This is heavily dependent on the society, of course.


agreed

You win.



I'm all of these plus more. Is this bad? I'm kinda like the worst man on this planet, but a little softer.

P.S. I'm also console-phobic towards a certain group.



Ex Graphics Whore.

Racial slurs are the worst. Some ethnicities are objectively better than others and slurs regarding sexuality shouldn't be offensive given that everybody has a choice to like what they like. Race on the other hand, you can't choose race.
