[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you being so vague about the slur?  [/quote]

second thread I’ve read lately on DCUM where person alleges a “slur” but won’t say what it is, so it is difficult to respond.[/quote]

What difference does it make? It's a racial slur. Often times, there are words that have multiple meanings, and people get hung up on the acceptable meanings instead of realizing that it's a historically racist word. Op isn't asking if she should be offended, she's asking how to handle the offensive situation. [/quote]

I've had people call my kids "oriental" before, which is offensive, but which I understand wasn't as offensive formerly and can keep calm about since older people don't really understand not to use it. However, if someone calls my kids "gooks," end of friendship.

There is no reason for OP to be coy on an anonymous forum except if she's a troll. The only word I can think of that's bleeped on TV would be the N word. Even [i]super[/i] offensive slurs like kike, guinea, beaner, etc don't get bleeped. [/quote]
