Well... I see your point about the WASPs... I'm one of them except for the protestant part... but then again, language like this is NOT restricted to white people. In fact, I'd venture to say the profanity and racial remarks used by other races is worse. At least where I live. My school is rather diverse, and I don't really have any friends that are all white, mostly mixed or muslim, asian, whatever. One clique, though, is black people. They tend to avoid hanging out with anyone not black. And if you wanna hear some language... you hear cussing every other word, and the "homophobic" cursing is plentiful. Like I said, pretty much worse than any white person I know. The asians use it just as much, as they like to talk like they're black. They're worse because they are like racist to other asians. I have a chinese friend who is only friends with me because I go to a different school and we've been friends since 4th grade... otherwise, it would be like taboo among his friends to hang out with a white person. So they have all kinds of words for us... not to mention non-korean asians call koreans "gooks." I thought that was a term for vietnamese, used by soldiers to dehumanize the enemy... now it's become a slur for koreans among the asian community. The hispanic cliques scream out obscenities and racist things all the time.
For all of these people, I feel it is the same. They are not necessarily prejudiced, they just use profane language. Now, I'm mostly talking about the dregs of society in my shitty school in Chatsworth, the armpit of the country. So I won't say it applies everywhere else, or to those out of high school. But in LA, we're pretty damn tolerant. I'm just saying words like this are not restricted to white people.
I'd like to say one thing to evil and soul... you guys are talking like profanity is the future end of mankind. Destructive to humanity... humanity heading down this path.... Alright, look. I'd say as human beings, we've made some damn fine advancements when we are saying WORDS are destructive. There used to be slavery... there used to be slaughter of american indians... gays were considered mental patients... being racist used to be just how things were. Now if you look at most people, racists are considered despicable people. As well they should be. So some teenage morons trash talk in games. So there are some cliques that think some words are acceptable. Let them. They will either mature, or if they don't, they'll have a hard time the rest of their life. Perhaps the last tolerance needed to achieve is ###### people. I think for the most part people are tolerant... just when they don't think there are any consequences, they say some meaningless words. "Well, there are ###### bashers out there." Indeed, there are murderers, rapists, there are still racists, there are idiots in general that exist. You can't get rid of all of them. Some people just can't be changed, and sobeit, society will ostracize them.
