[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  It has been interesting to read through all the responses!  Not at all surprised it turned into name-calling.

I'm going to keep correcting my sons.  I'll also correct other children who use that language in my house.  I'll just stick with "Hey - we don't say this in our house."  My house, my rules.  If the other boys (or their parents) have problems with that, they can play somewhere else.

It did make me stop and think re: PP's comment about Redskins.  As you can probably guess, I do dislike that term immensely... and I think it is embarrassing that the name hasn't been changed yet.  We don't buy anything with that logo on it, yet it never dawned on me to say something to others who are wearing it.  I wonder what this says about me?  [/quote]

Good for you, OP!

I think we have a Kong way to come on the football team name, most people have so much cognitive dissonance around it that it simply does not occur to them that it is truly offensive. You wouldn't let a kid walk around with a swatika on his shirt in your home - but were not that far yet as a society. To wit, holocaust museum, yet no museum about our own genocides against Africans and American Indians. Country is just in denial as PP's demonstrate. [/quote]
