Started in the CDZ in an effort to keep name-calling to a minimum. I'm sure we can all do that.
Quick background: I'm of mixed race (half Hispanic half European), my wife is also of mixed race, as are (obviously) our beautiful children. Our Christmastime family photos put any Celebrate Diversity! poster to shame, from Spanish & Mexican to Japanese to Nigerian. Not a full-bloody whitey amongst us.
Perhaps as a result, I take the terms "racist" and "racism" very seriously, and it saddens me to see the way the terms have been diluted and trivialized by people who feel they gain advantage by spraying them around like water.
So let's see where we stand. Please identify all terms you would normally feel are racist, and please comment, thanks.
For the record, I picked #6 and #7. I think #5 is borderline, and would depend on the situation.
