Deucalion Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 To be entirely honest, I've never seen the harm with any word as such, more the emotion behind the word. I have a black friend (not African American, admittedly, as I live in Britain) named Timothy, and I regularly call him "jabroni" is a joking term of endearment, much like he calls me "douchebag". Obviously, we aren't insulting each other, because the words aren't meant in harm, they're affectionate terms. On the other hand, if somebody called him "jabroni" obviously meaning to be racist, he'd take great offense, much like I'd take great offense if somebody called me douchebag in all seriousness. tl;dr: words are only as bad as the speaker makes them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Here's a new topic for discussion. I find the term "racist" offensive if used in total seriousness toward someone who is really not racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. Sankara Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I thought you meant today only, but I miscalculated. That's not most, it's just a little less than half, but I suppose you would base that on opinion right?

It's also nice to note that poverty are pretty strict standards according to the government. In reality, lower middle class living conditions are harder than you would think.
