Re: Would you call a Native American "redskin" to their face?
Reminds of a conversation I had in a lecture I took.
One of the students was an African called Louise and the guy giving the lecture once referd to her as "Nigger". After which large parts of the students gasped in confusion, to which he simply replied
"oh so you are shocked now? there is nothing bad about the word nigger! it has been arround for hundreds of years and isnt a swearword like asshole! I wont stop using it because someone in the EU says that I cant use it, so I will continue saying Nigger."
To which I replied: "And why dont you simply call her Louise?"
