[quote=Anonymous]OP, I cringe too when I look back. 80s kid here. I never said or did anything racist but I used the words "retarted" and "gay" flippantly which I never would never do now. I wasn't by any means a gay-hater but I certainly wasn't an ally. I voted in my state to ban gay marriage and thought gays were some sort of weird counter-culture - all from a place of ignorance (FWIW, I grew up in a big city). Now I am a huge ally and supporter and advocate of gay rights. We used the word "Oriental" in my house but not as a derogatory term. Until the 90s it was just what most people used to describe people from Asia. I certainly wouldn't use that word now to describe people.[/quote]
