Re: Racist or not?...you make the call.
I think that the best play here is after the guy says that, just make a face like u farted. He knows what he said was racist, and if you don't give him any positive feedback he'll probably feel like a douche, and second-guess it before he ever says it again [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Racial stereotypes = racist the vast majority of the time, especially in non-joking situations.

Re: Racist or not?...you make the call.
I could get my roommate to niggerrid a response but he's asleep right now. I guess it all depends on how serious you think the person is. I would never use the term in front of a person I didn't know.
On second though I think you are right, it is racist but It is a kind of term that can be taken as ambivalant by people who are associated. |

Re: Racist or not?...you make the call.
Since "Jew", politically speaking, is sort of a not 100% race because it's also a religion, this is on the border of racism.

Re: Racist or not?...you make the call.
What about gipped? I said that in class once and my teacher flipped her cookie. "I don't wanna hear you say that in my class room ever again!" I reply with a confused look, "I said gipped not japped." She wasn't amused.
Is it like.. a disrespectful term against.. gypsys? |

I can't remember ever hearing someone say something like this and actually mean to imply that they believe jews are cheaper than gentiles. |

Few people who use it know the origin, and some others argue for a different etymology. She played this one wrong. It was a teaching moment, not a flipping-out moment. |
