[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It says that you have the sense and maturity to realize that you are not captain of the Morality Police and that reasonable people can disagree on this issue [/quote]

A reasonable person and a racist can agree to disagree, I suppose. [/quote]

When you have to resort to name-calling you are no longer reasonable. [/quote]

racist is an actual thing, that actual people are.  being called racist when someone is being racist isn't "name calling", it's stating a fact.  or at least a perception of the facts.  I'm not pp, by the way, just someone who thinks it's a bit rich that you are comfortable with redskins, but not with you yourself "being called a name".  [/quote]
