[quote=Anonymous]My *very* southern family: My father was born in 1937 and uses the n-word a couple times a year or so. I usually respond with a "DAD, for God's sakes, quit saying that word! What is wrong with you?!" It doesn't change a thing. My paternal grandmother was born in 1907. I will never forget grocery shopping with her in the late 90's and there was a black family in the cereal aisle with us. My grandmother very loudly said, "oh, that's what the coloreds eat for breakfast." I looked the mom right in the eyes and "I am so sorry." My grandmother would alternate between "coloreds" and "Negroes" and it drove me crazy, because she had no compunction against saying whatever she wanted to anyone she wanted. She lived until she was 95, and had no intention of changing. If you said anything to her, she'd feign deafness and ignore you.[/quote]
