also out of curiosity.....why is it ok to write the word "spics" but you write N*****S like that....surely both are derogatory terms.....if we are talking about racism?
You can argue the symantics of the thread, but the purpose of it was clear.
Post a title that would be derogatory because only the title is viewed, Than post a disclaimer in the body of the text.
The racisit term (N****S) I used as an example of the purpose of this thread,
is *** out by the web site not by me. And yes both terms are equally derogatory.
The word faggot, in its original defintion( whether describing food, cigarettes, or a bundle of wood ) is neither racist or prejudiced.
But the context it has been used for in this post is prejudiced not racist.
Gay people are not a race.
