re: #523 Charles

It’s incredibly easy to NOT use a racial slur. All you have to do is say to yourself, “well, that’s a racial slur, so maybe I should be a decent human being and refrain from using it.”

Or you can be an asshole and try to prove something, in which case you can do that somewhere else.

Thank you Charles. I would have commented earlier, but I just got to this thread. That term is not only a racial slur in Britain, but Canada as well.

I’m of Pakistani descent. That racial slur has been used against me

How do you think it makes me - or others who went through the same experience - feel when we see it here?
