There is a huge difference between a curse word and a slur.

[-] hex@programming.dev 54 points 2 months ago

Yep, agreed, but these are teenagers. I did not have much foresight as a teenager, either.

[-] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 25 points 2 months ago

Yeah, teenagers are often pretty fucking stupid.

Dumb as I was at that age, I can’t imagine agreeing to do something like that or making friends with anyone who would.

[-] hex@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

Because we are not the same type of people they are? They just didn't care as much.

[-] yeahiknow3@lemmings.world 5 points 2 months ago

Exactly! They’re racist little bags of shit.

Yup, if you grow up in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma, there isn't a lot of racial diversity. So this isn't something they likely have run into in any meaningful sense, so they wouldn't understand just how hurtful it can be.

You get it. Thanks

Right, the point is to let them be themselves & correct behaviors that society has decided are useless. Gotta give them the freedom to choose so that you can correct it, same as younger kids.
