I have not "reclaimed" the N word it is vile and disturbing when used that doesn't change when a misguided black uses it trying to "reclaim it". It is mostly socioeconomic and not in mainstream usage among most blacks with education or means.Call me old fashioned but racial slurs are gross I have no interest in making them acceptable.

Of course, I've heard of no such a thing as Latinos wanting to reclaim that! It was the intent of the headline to be catchy. Still, I would love to wear a wise Latina shirt. @strumpetwindsock:

When I saw the link I automatically assumed they meant "wetback". Cute trick, but I agree "wise latina" is a bit of a flash in the pan compared to real racist words. @Chitown Kev:

I think a lot of gay youth were really celebrating being past that, until the marriage debate smacked them upside the head and awoke them to bigotry. Identity politics gets pretty boring pretty fast.

I get offended when a black person uses that word in talking to me. Remember, some blacks have also buried the n-word. Count me as being at THAT funeral. I would love it if the f-word also had a funeral, but that's just me. As for the "wise Latina" shirts, sheeeeit, I want one of those and I'll wear it proudly.
