I call my sister slant eye all the time. I call my wife round eye, my wife calls me slant eye too (she probably does think she is better than me when she says it though/caught her lurking the other day reading my posts)
Again the word means nothing with out context.
Just like the n-word. A whitie can say it out of pure hate and it cause a riot, but put the same word in the mouth of a black man in the proper context and it becomes a word of endearment.
Words should hold no power in of themselves. we should be looking to context and not key words or pharses for validation of our thoughts.
