sure, i used the word a couple of times when i was a kid, and then i learned why it was wrong to use it, and i stopped.

i think using racial, ethinic, or sexual slurs is wrong, and when i hear/see people using them i speak up.

(often people then apologize, realizing that what they've said or written is inappropriate or hurtful/damaging in some way.)

the first amendment protects your right to express yourself any way you like, and i support that. it also protects my right to disagree with the way you express yourself, and to call you out on it.
