in a perfect world, there would be no need for civil rights laws, affirmative action programs, and "double standards" when it comes to our syntax. please remember that this "double standard" should and does exist with every other racially-affiliated word or phrase. i wouldn't call a mexican a term like that, nor would i call anyone of any other ancestry something to that effect. it's disrecpetcful, inconsiderate, and moronic. i, however, through all of the crap i and the people with my skin color have had to deal with before me, have more than earned the pass necessary to say that word whenever and where ever i want to.

Affirmative action sucks. It is an excuse for people who don't want to work hard enough to get where they are. While most are partying in college I cracked my ass, so I have little to no sympathy for those who say that it's "unfair."
