[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP says that the other parent CALLED HER KID A SLUR, right?  I don't care which slur it is, it is completely inappropriate to insult children.

I'm not sure I'd speak to the parents.  Anyone comfortable insulting a small child is probably not going to care that that child's same-slur parents are upset.

But my kid would never go to that house again.  Period.[/quote]

See, this is why I want to know the word and the context. Is this dad comfortable insulting children? Or did he use a word he didn't realize was a slur. Is this mom getting bent out of shape about "oriental" or the n word? I didn't know it was bad to use the term oriental. Now I do. [/quote]

Except Oriental isn't a slur... [/quote]

:shock: [/quote]

What's with the shocked look? Oriental may be outdated terminology, but it's not a hateful slur.  It would be like calling a black person a Negro. Very antiquated, but not inherently hateful.

Chink is a slur. Not "Oriental."[/quote]

NP here. The term is derogatory. End of story. And for future reference, unless you are in the group of people who may be called that word, you don't get to decide whether a particular term is a slur.  [/quote]
