[quote=Anonymous]SA here born and raised in the US, 1st gen, 2nd gen whatever you want to call me.  I've never even heard the term 'kike' ever (and I have large group of SA friends from various states) , this is the first time I've encountered it.

As far as the "K" word which I suspect is mostly likely 'kala' or 'kaloo', as one PP already stated that is [b]not[/b] a derogatory word.  It is the word for black person and is not equivalent to the English "N" word slur. [u] Kala/kaloo is not a racial slur[/u].

Now if someone decided to tell a joke such as "how many black people (kala) would it take to screw in a light bulb?" that would be a racially charged statement/joke but the actual use of the word kala is not derogatory, the entire joke is.  It would be like asking 'how many white people (gora) does it take to screw in a light bulb?", again the entire joke is racially charged not the word that means white people.

So to the OP, if the context of which they were using this "k" word was racially charged and prejudice that would be different than saying that they used the word and that makes them prejudice.

That said, you will find prejudice people in every single group of peoples all over the world.  It is not limited to one group or nationality, you need to just look for some other friends.
