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.
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.
