I agree with what you are saying S&S, but the levity of the situation is lost on me.
When I am standing in a grocery store with my 5 year old boy, and he sees two "******" calling each other that, it makes an impression.
I can not control other people's actions, but I can certianly teach him proper conversation. He once asked me what color he was, after feeling pressure to answer the question in pre-school. I told him he was latte. Evere since that's been our little in-joke.
Calling other people "*****", white or black (once again in my humble opinion) is just lazy. There are a lot of other words in the English vocab. that are much more animated than that term. Hell, "Funky Monkey" at least has a creative tone.
