Is it possible to not be racist but occasionally use racial slurs against a minority when they make you angry?


Additional Details
When I said "minority" and "make you angry" I meant like if someone cuts you off in traffic or something like that...not like that a minority group bothers you.

interesting question. i think the answer is yes, your intention might just be to hurt them whether you actually believe what you are saying or not.

If you use racial slurs then you are a racist.


dylanfox
no, it's possible to not be racist and use a racial slur against an individual to hurt them emotionally, but how can a minority make you angry? unless you have met them all long enough to have formed an opinion!


Fishguy
Every human being in the world has some racist tendencies; it is human nature. Some people like to tell everyone else how much better they are and make judgments on others, but those who casts stones of racism are usually the biggest offenders.


sirknightbyron
if you are "occasionally" yelling out racial slurs to somebody, you are 100% a racist ! think about how silly the question sounds

(im in a pizzy mood today, sorry :)=

well racial slurs are never nice, but have you ever heard the song everyones a little bit racist from avenue q??? no matter what no one is truly color blind, and we cant deny that...just try to not use the racial slurs...theyre mean

No, not really. When "they" make you angry, that means you're attributing characteristics to a racial group, instead of looking at the individual.

That kind of group attribution, by race, is pretty much the definition of racist thinking.

If you use racial slurs at any time, you are racist.

You have obviously used them in the past and are part of your vocabulary Habit.

No it's not possible. If someone uses racial slurs, then they are racist.

racist- (adjective) based on racial intolerance; "racist remarks"

Everyone has at one time or another used a racial slur either when angry or in a joke so either everyone is racist or people simply, occasionally use slurs without being racist.


wiemercats
Sure, that only makes you a situational racist.


Bob
i do it all the time and sometimes loud enough for them to hear


luckymom
Everyone does that.

If you use racial slurs when you're angry then my bet would be somewhere deep down inside you're really racist but think you're not!


ICE 'em
It is the best form of degradation if that is what you are attempting to do.

No, as the use implies that all people of that minority act as the person who you are angry against. That's simply untrue.
