The fact is, people will always look at it in a racial context, no matter how far we think we've come in combating racism. The people of European ancestry where I live still make racist terms, they just try to do it in a more subtle way as opposed to fifty years ago than calling Mexicans "Be@ners" and African Americans "N!ggers."
Thinking this is a moot point is ignoring the problem in the first place. |
I would like for you to do the same as the poster above you in reading the quote again as it was typed out.
