For me, I let a lot of verbiage slide. I learnt to do this by continuous racial slurs regarding myself.
You see, I have been called; nigga, nigga shit brown, jappo, chink, wog, abo, glick, pommie bastard, craut, nazi, jew, and everything else under the sun. My skin is tan/very brown (when I get a suntan) my eyes are dark and almond shaped.
Why I am telling you this Miss Quill, is that ... Yeah the words can hurt but they say more about the person using them, indicating a limited vocabulary and worldly experience.
I don't get offended, I have been called a "fucking psyco-bitch" which was rather novel. I think what I would also like to say is that I am inclined to agree with Mr Fry.
