[QUOTE="Fran, post: 35542, member: 3"] Nancy, I'm the first to say my experience with teen language is limited so I can't really speak to what and how kids speak. However as a woman, I'm more offended at other women being referred to as a ho. It doesn't matter what race you are. I think this is more of a woman's issue and not a race issue. AT all. Where are all the women's right's organizations? My outrage at reducing all women regardles of their accomplishments as wh***'s far outweighs the racial slur, in my humble opinion. I am not blind to ethnic slurs and try hard to not encourage or feed into jokes and snide remarks about stereo types. Just because a lot of people do it or think it's funny or think it's over kill by the politically correct wave doesn't make it right. Everyone deserves to have their heritage treated with dignity. A melting pot should have different flavors. It should also be that we don't slur other sexes. I hate stupid women jokes. We are already vulnerable and fight to be paid and promoted as equals. Equal pay for equal work. It stereo types of women keep going around as acceptable it makes it all that much harder to expect equal treatment in the workplace. Under the law, I should not be seen as a woman,Italian-American,middle age,yankee or wh***. We are each a citizen with worth and should be judged by the same expectations and rules. Making women into jokes disgusts me. We have to set the standard for our daughters and grand daughters. No one should talk about them in such a demeaning way. So that's my vent. Sorry,I get carried away on equal treatment and dignity especially for women. [/QUOTE]
