This woman expalins it well & she's White.
She addresses why 'honky' is not as offensive as 'nigger', but that hardly addresses the entire spectrum of racial slurs, some of which are as offensive to certain cultures as 'nigger' is to people who feel closely related to those who were 'black' slaves in America.
Sorry, try again.
How can I possibly be expected to explain the other racial slurs and how other Non-White people feel about them. Since you know so much about it - look in the mirror and explain it to yourself.
I've already explained it. How about you explain what 'white' is and what 'black' is, since you're so focused on drawing color lines in the sand? That way, we can all figure out what words we're supposed to be offended by so people will be more likely to use them against us in a frigging mock forum.
