My dad loves his 'right' to say racial slurs so much, especially the n-word because he feels like growing up in a black community and being friends with black people when he was younger gives him a lifetime n-word pass or something. He's gotten even worse since he got on social media—back to the point of 12 years old levels of edgy racism 'humor' and laughing at calling people slurs. I swear he drops the hard r every ten seconds. Similar with my mom although she draws the line at the hard r I guess.

Its funny that my parents wanna be black so bad without acknowledging more than what is blatantly obvious about the black struggle in this country. They're listening to Tupac songs and worshipping him as the best rapper to ever live without acknowledging who he actually was at all because communism doesn't fit their worldview. All while claiming the right to say racial slurs and giggle like schoolchildren whenever they find it funny.

Even my cousins can't stop saying slurs man, I'm so tired of it. Somehow I'm the weird one when I ask them to stop.

Florida is such a shithole, man

My boss uses slurs in an apparently unaware way. If you listen to him speak, "normal" people are white Germans and sometimes other white Europeans, "foreigner" is the normal word to refer to non lion whites, and insert slut here is the correct way to be more specific as to what kind of PoC is being referred to. Getting called out on it is met with not only a lack of understanding of what the problem is, but so little interest in learning or changing that he just changes the subject.

Which has me wondering if any small business owner in this area is at the very least not racist, but that's probably too much to ask.
