Does it tick you off when you hear other people making racist jokes/slurs? Even if it's not directed at me it makes me feel angry.

Question

Answer

It pisses me off to no end, because what alot of people don't understand is that racist jokes, much like rape jokes, trivialize actual people and passively uphold stereotypes that hurt and sometimes kill real people. Slurs are nothing more than a pointed shortcut to dehumanizing and devaluing someone that doesn't look like you. It's unacceptable and inhumane. It may piss people off, but I won't stand for it.

Answer

This is probably where I piss people off. But it depends. Slurs? Yeah. That shit pisses me off. But if it's a joke that isn't malicious and doesn't perpetuate any hurtful or rude stereotypes or opinions? I can handle that without getting upset.

I think it's okay to sometimes not take life so seriously.  It's okay to sometimes say 'yeah, okay, I'm a white girl and I have no rhythm!' (because I am and I don't)

So I think intention matters a lot.

But no matter the intent, if something someone says is hurtful or upsetting to you, you have every right to point it out and explain why it is problematic. That's how we learn and grow.

Answer

I can't handle it at all, it makes me sick!

Answer

Racial slurs are NEVER ok. Joking around when you have harmless intentions is different, though. I guess it depends on the company you keep. Some people may be easily offended, others might have a sense of humor & laugh about it. Idk.

Answer

I can take jokes. I cannot stand when anyone has racist slurrs coming out of their mouth. Including my husband. He has no issue with people, but he and his friends get carried away teasing each other and I cannot, for the life of me, stand it.
