Tom
the point is
what you see is PC or acceptable or not a racial slur is not the same as what someone else sees

or is there nothing PC about impolite as Randy says

so if TECHIE was not polite is what she did unacceptable....and we should march off to Brad Dryer and have her post deleted

so was Techie impolite and not acceptable
or was it a racial slur and not acceptable
or impolite and acceptable
or polite and acceptable
etcetcec
do you think what Techie said is acceptable and is not a racial slur
or is not acceptable to you but it still isnt a racial slur
others felt it was a racial slur
both privately to me
and I gave you one link where a guy said he thought it was an ethnic slur

so is he wrong and its not a racial slur...

so is the word "chink" not acceptable but other kinds of racial slurs are...

just because you think something is or is not a racial slur does not mean that is the broad base thinking or that it is or is not or can or cannot be a racial slur

I personally thought Techie's comments were ignorant and silly
but others thought they were offensive and prejudicial and an ethnic slur

so should they march off to Brad Dryer and notify him
or should he only be notified if the word "chink" is used....

it is all relative

dont bother answering any of these questions

they are rhetorical
