Can't call women "broads" and "dames" anymore either.

Live and learn.



Sidenote: One friend from college (more a friend of a friend) recently posted on FB that if anyone says or does or jokes about ANYTHING racist he will unfriend and block them and to please not even talk to him in real life.    I *almost* asked him what happens if someone says something they don't even KNOW will offend him but it wasn't worth it because HE takes his racist UBER seriously.

Could use a little less of that extreme reaction too.

Maybe we can just teach and learn from each other and everyone will feel a little more comfortable that they aren't going to start a fight/argument all the time.

I don't mind knowing some things that can be offensive, but it seems to be going out of control.   Then again i'm getting old.
