Phantom Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 . This thread was inspired by some threads and comments floating around GF. So, what is your opinion on derogatory terms like Chink, Nigger, Spic, and Honkey/Whitey? If someone calls you a racial slur in jest, are you usually offended? Do you feel people are too sensitive about color? What if someone referred to you as "the black chick" or "that white guy?" Does it help put things in perspective when you do the same to others? Do you ever joke around by calling your friends ******s or have you ever seriously used a racial slur to piss someone off or demean them? I often call my friends "niggas" when I'm joking around or will use the term "the Mexican kid" when refering to a Hispanic person. Do you feel this is wrong? Is it overly PC for anyone to get offended by this? Quote Blah.
Chi Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 It depends on the intent. I use certain "racial" terms in jest or as an insult. By the same token, I take offense when I believe certain racial slurs are directed towards me in a disrespectful way and not in a playful, humorous manner. Quote

A muck is slang for Alaskan native( muck tuck is whale blubber). But they didn't mind "muck", they were offeneded by the dumb part.

Phantom Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 Is there a slur for white people? The only ones I have ever heard were Honkey (lame), Whitey (lame), and White trash (limited to certain white people). So, no. Nothing terribly offensive. I guess Gringo is one, too (although it can also refer to a typical North American resident- not just Caucasians). Quote Blah.
KathyA Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I do not get offended easily. Unless its about my ass. my ass if off limits.. Something said as a joke, should be taken as such. But when its said in a derogatory way that is something different. I don't take part in that. Nor do I like it when its said around me. I grew up hearing, What is the only type of geese that can't fly? Port U geese.. hahaha funny I know.. Quote I want a sensitive man - one who'll cry when I hit him.

snafu Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I've never been called any racial names but if someone where to get in my face and call me a cracker, I would probably laugh my ass off. That is the funniest slur out there. Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws. That's just insane!" Penn & Teller NEVER FORGOTTEN

KathyA Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 that has got to be the worst joke ever, fatass... ROTFLMAO! Bad joke indeed, but when your 7, well lets just say I still have the scars..

eddo Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Hey, I never said the white ones were good, just that they were there. Maybe it is just that white people don't get offended for such silly reasons... naaah. wigger is another one, but for very select folk. [attach=full]1115[/attach] Quote I'm trusted by more women.
Chi Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 No good offending names for whites, huh? Whites not easily offended, huh? I'm good at offending almost anybody when I need to, how about these? Albinos, pasty lame asses, Casper, cottage cheese, um what else?lol. Quote
Chi Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Of course it doesn't help that I am naturally pale myself:p Quote

Wet back, from crossing the Rio Grande. Or swimming across bodies of water to immigrate here, most probably illegally. Quote
Outlaw2747 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Nigger doesn't bother me really. I am part Irish and I am quite educated wheras a ****** is not. I don't like to use the word myself but I know for a fact I am not one. Funny how people can call one a ****** but they themselves are usually the ignorant ones.

Msixty Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 only thing i have been called is a crazy ass white boy, but that's only becouse it's true. and i have seen some retards get offended by 'kracker' (mostly the wiggers, or 'wangstas') but then other people are totally unoffended by it. Quote Your stupidity is My weapon WARNING! my mood and mental state are strongly influenced by music and T.V./movies..... i may seem the slightest bit insane.. just don't let me watch my favorite show and or listen to my music and it will all be alright.
eisanbt Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 In a joking manor meant to demonstrate the stupidity of such terms and those who use them seriously, I got no guff with it all. But when a group of idiots really go off and use this shit as their primary means of entertainment than you gotta step in. Me and a number of my friends often go off on jokes about the physically challenged usually referencing a good friend with Muscular-Dystrophy, but it’s just for shits and giggles and she enjoys it all too. If you can't make light of your differences than you're taking them too seriously. 1 Quote http://www.boohbah.com/zone.html "It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards" -Lewis Carroll
