Slang you didn't understand but used anyway
 

all the jew comments made me realize something... i just realized that i used the term 'to jew someone' for years not even having a clue that it was a recial comment - i thought it was an actual term/word and never associated it with jewish people at all but just something related to a transaction where someone got the better of someone else and was pissed about it.


any other terms/words you use that one day you suddenly realized were racist and had no idea of the racial issue around them when you used them?

LOL - Stupiiied.

Your a niggar

what a gyp....racial terms agains gypsies.

ignorant is more like it.

stupid is calling someone who's ignorant stupid

damn never even realized that one.

oh well im an equal opportunity racist.

To "jip" someone off... referring to gypsies...

:1orglaugh

didn't even know that either and i've used it too

:(

thanks

I did learn that you should not say this to someone that is Jewish.

:Graucho

how do you ditch a jewish cop?


























take him through a tollbooth...

Same here, never connected that with Gypsies

it's actually how i found out what the term meant - a jewish friend pointed it out to me.

Don't be prejudice...
Hate everyone equally.

Point to Ponder:

While enjoying a lukewarm meal of C-rations in Nam, a black buddy said the following to me, which I've never fogotten:

"There's a definite difference between a negro and a niger. And niger are not, of necessity, black."

When you look at it in that light, it makes a lot of sense.

NOTE TO BOARD: Why is it that when you type the correct spelling of the "N word", it comes up "hahahahaha?"

I used to tell the trailer trash that they were sleazy. I had no idea it was your name.

My apologies.

i wouldn't worry about it Sleazy most people have no idea what the words mean that they use.


You would be suprised at the true meaning of some of our everyday words....you can thank the christian religion for that

i dont assume somebody is a bigot when they use the 'jew somebody down' to get a cheaper price. people are products of their enviroment, lots of people use that phrase and don't really understand it to be a bigoted term because they've grown up hearing their parents and others say it.

Indian giver was popular as a kid, that was what you called someone who gave you something then took it back...however we never really understood it's full meaning...most of us kids just assumed that it meant Indians weren't good at giving gifts...however it was truly a reflection on the white government who kept giving Indians land etc and then taking it away.

Still I doubt Indians want their race to be used in such a way.

i want a tatoo that says "i'm not prejustice, you're just inferrior"

umm, no.
it was a reflection on how the native americans viewed property ownership - which is different than how we view property in our society today
