[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP says that the other parent CALLED HER KID A SLUR, right?  I don't care which slur it is, it is completely inappropriate to insult children.

I'm not sure I'd speak to the parents.  Anyone comfortable insulting a small child is probably not going to care that that child's same-slur parents are upset.

But my kid would never go to that house again.  Period.[/quote]

See, this is why I want to know the word and the context. Is this dad comfortable insulting children? Or did he use a word he didn't realize was a slur. Is this mom getting bent out of shape about "oriental" or the n word? I didn't know it was bad to use the term oriental. Now I do. [/quote]

Except Oriental isn't a slur... [/quote]

:shock: [/quote]

If it's good enough to call rugs and vases, it's a good enough word to describe people /sarcasm[/quote]

NP but some people truly don't know this is bad. I had to tell my parents not to say that. My parents aren't racist and wouldn't have ever meant anyone harm. They just didn't know.

Obviously spic is rude, but just as bad as redskin or Jap. [/quote]
