[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you the way you are, OP? Seriously...why?[/quote] Because this came up as an issue. I dont’ want to use a word considered to be offensive. That’s why I am the way I am.[/quote] Yeah but why would the word “hood” be considered racist? It literally is just the short version of neighborhood. There’s no racial proponent with the word. My 80 year old mother-in-law uses the term when she visits us and says either she’s coming to our “hood” or “your neck of the woods”. In no way have I ever connected it with “hood= poor black people/ghetto”. You should stop generalizing. [/quote]
