Would you call someone a racial slur to their face?

[~Avalon~]

Many years ago, my live-in boyfriend was Jewish and so was our roommate. One suggested that we all play Monopoly and I responded, "OK, so the black chick is going to play a city real estate game against a couple of Jews. I think I know where this is heading: oppression followed by eviction."

I lol'd

and no I wouldn't, I don't use racial slurs at all.

True story, but now serious examples:

When super-frustrated, I once called a gay guy a "goddamn faggot." And I once yelled at an Asian driver who cut me off on the road, "Way to fucking stereotype yourself, you goddamn ching-chong bitch!"

Sometimes when people get really pissed off they take the cheap shot. It is a lousy thing to do, but it happens. Better to admit it, then learn and move on.

Nobody's perfect! But some people can be quite funny.

 

[Lavared]

No. If I'm angry enough at someone to slur them I'm going to use whatever they did to make me angry, not something extraneous.

 

[warrior queen]

i have done so in the past.
i will probably do so again in my future.

'course - i'm a chick, so i get away with a lot more than a guy would.

To my friends... in jest. I have some close friends who are Lebanese. I routinely greet them with "My beige brothers" or "Whats up ya fucking terrorist" "Hey Khadaffy"... they respond in kind.

Slurs as terms of endearment.

Bump for this. I call my best mate "The Jew" all the time. He takes it just fine so long as I don't call him a canadian. But I know where to draw the line

I wouldn't online or off. Racial slurs are ridiculous.

Wood chucks are not beavers...?

 

[Retrieval]

Yep.
A was somewhere few years ago and some black guy walked past and said "What is that honky looking at", meaning me, to his friends.
I told him "I'm looking at a nigger."

What's good for the goose...

 

[Mansa Musa]

I just called my friend "a racial slur". And I said it to his face! And now we´re looking at hot, rotund babes.

 

[The Mutt]

Racial slurs are too general and way too easy. Why waste an opportunity for insult with something generic? If you don't have the wit to come up with a personally crafted insult, you are likely to come out the loser in the exchange anyway, and look like a loser doing it.

Probably a good course of action, seeing as she's right. Her gender assures she'll never be held to account for much of anything.

That's chivalry for ya.

 

[Drinking Cap]

Does calling members of my family "lousy Jews" count?

 

[LadyAria]

Yes, if they start it then I'll go there.

Plus, when I joke with certain friends no name is of limits. I think that is how I learned an imunity to certain expressions.

 

[Ishmael]

Yes? No? How much guts do you really have when the keyboard ain't there to protect ya?

Come on down LT.

As expected, you're the only one too cowardly to give a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer.

LOL, I'm defining 'slur' as in hurling that kind of stuff unprovoked at someone.

It seems to happen online 100 times as much as it happens in person. Or 10,000 times, perhaps...

 

[Peregrinator]

i have done so in the past.
i will probably do so again in my future.

Cunt!

No. I don't use racial slurs except when telling a joke, quoting a dumbass, or with friends who know me well enough to know that I'm kidding. One friend in particular is a white guy who used to be fairly sensitive about such stuff, so I always referred to him as "my niggah." Which I found particularly amusing while climbing:

"On belay, my niggah!"

"Climbing!"

"Climb on up, niggah!"

etc.

I was the best man at his wedding last June....

It's all on the board little boy. You want face to face? Come on down. You aren't worth a ticket around the block.

Welp, that settles it.

You're too scared to answer the poll and you're too scared to come to California.

Your reply is irrelevant.

Have a nice day, and feel free to screech on.
