[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 2726637, member: 4319"] My entire point is the word isn't "forbidden" by anyone but middle-aged white conservatives who buy into "reverse racism", and a very small, self-righteous subset of lefties. Like the "feminists" who assert all penetrative sex is rape. Sure, they're out there, but they don't have the power to bring nationwide/worldwide fallout, and they are ridiculous. OU SAE boys made international news. They did not make international news because they used the word "******". Period. That is evident to anyone who doesn't have some woe-is-me-white-man axe to grind. They could have used the word in a hundred other contexts on video and you would not know who they were right now, much less people across the globe. They could have even used it offensively and in a racist manner and been fine. That's the only point I'm making in this particular thread. "that word" alone cannot get you in SAE-level trouble. Conservatives tend to be all kinds of hyperbolic about their perceived racial double standards. Life ain't that bad for the white man. I know because I are juan, as mausermike would say. :D [/QUOTE]
