Black on white racism is such a Fox News sort of concern. Sure it happens, but without the 200 years of institutional, economic oppression it falls somewhat flat. Headline: WHITE STUDENT GETS CALLED WHITE TRASH BY BLACK STUDENT. Because racism happens to everyone equally and we should just ignore it in order to achieve a post-racial society. It's like those Christian movies that focus on the 9 months pregnant 13 year old who is forced to have an abortion by her evil secular aunt, or the EMT who gives last rights to everyone and is dumped by the evil union for sharing god with a dying man. Because this shit happens all of the time and the WASPs are so oppressed.

I dealt with some racism last summer. As you know I live and work on a reservation. A. was getting picked on by some native boys.. and although she's part native, she's fair skinned. These boys were calling her white bitch..... shoving her off her bike.. kicking at her, etc. I found out where they live, and went to talk to their parents... turns out the parents were just has horrible as their children. The mother flipped out and threatened to kill me if I ever stepped onto her property again.
So what did I do? Made a police report.... and every time the police went to their door they wouldn't answer. Nothing came of it... and then my tires got stabbed. It's been quiet since. But that whole ordeal has changed A. in the way that she used to feel free to ride her bike everywhere unafraid around the neighborhood...this summer I got her into an art and swim class, and she's doing better but she will not ride her bike down the street anymore. Pisses me off. |

Not that it matters regarding the kid who said it, but did your nephew's black heritage come from a country where the slur n word was never a thing? I ask this because you mentioned the Hispanic heritage as well, and I guess that makes a difference. The kid was wrong to say it, obviously, but offense can maybe be reduced if your nephew's heritage doesn't really coincide with slavery in the US. Then again, it probably doesn't matter when your nephew is raised in the US where he is likely to be a target of racism regardless.
It's strange how these things work, people do say "black" in Brazil but it has racist connotations and it was the term the Portuguese used to refer to slaves (it also has an affectionate connotation in the diminutive, which may be confusing for foreigners). The race is negro, very close to the racist n word in anglophone countries. |

Ehhh it depends on the person or situation. In more "professional" or formal situations, people stick with "African American". I happen to think that shit is pandering and awkward. I've only heard white people who are trying too hard to be "textbook pc" ay that.
I say black, or if in context of political conversations, black Americans. Person of Color also works for all non-whites. I'm sure I'm wrong on this though so we'll wait for the language police before we know for sure. |

I mean this thread def deserves one star, it was made when I was pissed and drunk but I mean sometimes there are situations in life that kind of require feedback that Google can't necessarily solve so I dunno whatever but I'm very glad it was taken as a chance for me to gleefully sling racial slurs around. God I've been keeping it pent up for so long.

as a person of color, i say person of color when talking about all non-whites or sometimes 'brown people' to be a little more specific. i say latino where others would use hispanic. i also use black and have never heard a black person be bothered by its use. typically it's whites who have a problem with "black". and who cares what they think about that, ya know?!
are y'all mad at D for calling someone white trash or for quoting nigger? both? just wondering. |

I wasn't mad. But it's something I'll point out because I think it's important enough to for me to type 12 words about it.
And I think using words in the context of discussing the word itself is fine. But I'm not The Decider so |

slunken, I suspect, really did think I got.joy out of using the n-word. Which is weird, but he kind of shrugged it off later.
Eulogy stated that white trash is offensive because to single out the white means that non-whites are regular trash. I mean I get what he's saying, I've read bell hooks. But that is a relatively recent theory, and one im not necessarily quite ready to jump on board with. |

In all actuality, part-Mexican would have been better. Sometimes "Hispanic" is my go to but I've seen that called passé.
