Message: [QUOTE="RichmondCuse, post: 609095, member: 208"] My age has zero effect on the relevancey of my point of view. Sorry. But maybe you should read my post again where I admitted to having used that word myself for years and years, never thinking twice about it. Only as I've grown have I been able to realize the impact of the word and why it shouldn't be used. Because regardless of my age, there is always room for growth - the world is ever changing, as you state, so if we realize how hurtful that word has become to a group of people, why not re-evaluate and decide if you think using it in any context is really appropriate? If you think it is, then I'm sorry but that's your choice. But I don't expect it to be tolerated in the workplace, and quite frankly, if Rutgers chose to fire Rice solely on those slurs alone, I think it would have been justified. [/QUOTE]
