[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes using these words awkward is when it’s apparent you have no friends from the “hood” or friends of color. I’ve known white people who use these words to be “funny” among other whites and/if there is a minority present. Probably assumes the minority is from the hood aka ghetto in this sense.[/quote] :roll: :roll: :roll: YeH, anyone can use these words whenever they want. You know that both white and black people can both live in “the hood”? Haven’t you heard of a guy named Eminem? You might want to stop generalizing. Trust us, most of us black people (if not, all) wouldn’t get upset or flinch at it. -signed a black person.[/quote] It’s also very racist on the PP’s part to assume that if a minority friend is around, that they automatically assume they grew up in a “hood” or “low income”. Way to stereotype an entire group of people. [/quote]
