So your saying people should just be able to go around throwing around racial slurs at whoever they want with no reprecussions? sorry I don't agree and I am glad most people don't agree with you on this either.
"if you called someone the n word at your job you would be fired as well."
That would be up to the employer, wouldn't it.
As far as I know, there is no law that requires an employer to do so...and if a civil suit resulted in some penalty to an individual for same, it is a decision to which I would be opposed.
Hahahaha really? if you really believe this go up to a black person at your job ad just drop the n bomb, lets see how long you last.
I think "racial slurs" were the point. There was a woman slamming Asians in a way that could be considered very offensive to Asians. If she had done a similar type vid on blacks (using n... or not), the reaction would have been very different. It looked like the "Asian" was trying to teach a lesson with a sense of humor, and yet, he too, was offensive to women.
I understand why you are sensitive over this, and I agree that these words can hurt, terribly. At the same time, humor can be used to open communication in a way that offends all parties the least. My mom used to tell us that people will judge you by the words you use. This seems to be more true than ever.
True but a much better way assess a person is to see how they act towards others.
Talk is still as cheap as it ever was.
I agree. Some times you do not get to "see" the actions, just hear the words, think of words as: first impression.
