Just curious

Better to do this as a poll, so folks who want to keep their answers unidentifiable can while others who wish to extrapolate can do so as well.

 

[Luis G]

Yes, and I really don't care what you think about it.

It is hardwired into the language and no one cares.

 

[Inkara1]

My answer falls somewhere in the middle. I might occasionally use one as part of a joke on rare occasions, and I do tell non-slur ethnic jokes to known audiences... but I don't use such words as part of my everyday speech. I guess the closest answer of those given would be "no, I have never done that."

Queers aren't a race, no matter how highly they think of themselves.

other "slurs"

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

Precisely why I included the word "other" in the question.

 

[Professur]

It's not a slur, AB. They call themselves that. Calling them disease ridden, shit packing degenerates would be a slur.

 

[tonksy]

I do not use the slurs but I am sure I have said derogatory things about different groups of people, whites and women included.
Just today I mentioned that I was glad to see the Mexicans working on the Waffle House because it would get done quicker than if white folk was doing it.

 

[MrBishop]

Used to use 'eskimo' until I realized that it was a slur loosely meaning 'raw meat eaters'.

I used to..then I grew up.

This is where the double standard comes into play. It's OK for them to call themselves that, but not OK for us to call them that. Just like only black people can say "nigger."

 

[rrfield]

i make fun of midgets and canadians. i feel no remorse.

 

[A.B.Normal]

And AfroAmericans can call themselves by the "N" word ,but I wouldn't recommend you doing it.

 

[Professur]

AB, it probably won't suprise you to realise that I really don't give a flying fuck about their continuing self-identity crisis. Blacks can continue to invent new names for themselves on a weekly basis, and it won't change the fact that skin colour doesn't make a person anything other than harder to see. Until they get over themselves and start calling themselves "people" jsut like everyone else, they'll always be "N" to someone. Themselves.

[SouthernN'Proud]

OK, next question. For those brave enough to answer. I will later, after a few others have done so.

What words/terms/phrases do you use?



There is a point to this, and not the one you suspect.

 

[Gonz]

Do, in context with a point. Avoid them in normal conversation, unless we're talking about rabble rousin' hillbiliies.

 

[Luis G]

I'll write the translations instead
for blacks: nigger, chocolate, shit
for whites: whitey, blondie, milky, ghost
for asian: yellow, "takataka"
for gay (men): faggot, "puto" (short-offensive for male prostitute)
for women: bitch, whore, dick case, servant
for men: puto (implying he's gay), dickless (or shortdicked), balls-less, impotent

yeah, we have a colourful language

edit: I forgot.........
to our neighbours to the north: gringos, yankees (yeah, including the southerns, 'cause there's no such thing as southers to us)

 

[Gonz]

what about Mexicans?

 

[Luis G]

We just combine any of the above (and many others) to fit a specific person
