Do those words make you feel better? Increase the content of your character?

So are you now a racist too since you aren't Jewish, Korean, or Mexican and use those words? Words are just words, people empower them by running around like chickens with their heads lopped off. In Hawaii, I as a Japanese guy can call a Samoan a sole and not have to worry about getting my head ripped off, or a Hawaiian a moke. Doesn't make me racist, but then again we don't isolate ourselves in Japantown, Koreatown, Chinatown, Whitemantown...........

If it makes you feel better and you are comfortable using it, then go ahead. It is the content of your character that is represented.

It is ridiculous to call someone a racist for using a word, when you yourself use it. Is that not the point? Why is this so hard for some people to understand.
.......and if you don't think this whole thing is motivated by money then you need to pull your head out of the sand. I guarantee you that these guys will get a lawyer and sue Richards for major money. Even though they have no problem heckling someone else and potentially ruining his character, they will sue for money. I say once they are paid off, I should get their work addresses so I can go over to where they are working and heckle them.
The new way to make money in America is to either sell drugs or sue for it.
