    Did he not know it was a slur? Was he ignorant, or just plain awful is what I’m wondering?

      she seemingly forgot the word “biracial” and decided to go with the first thing on her mind

        Oh, shit, apparently I’m nearly as bad. I didn’t realize that was offensive(assuming google even found the right word lol). I absolutely see how it is after thinking about it, though. Thankfully I don’t think I’ve ever actually called anyone that.

        Was it the word mulatto? That is definitely regional on how offensive it is, or more accurately how offensive it used to be. I didn’t know it could even be considered a slur til I moved 2000 miles away. Again, this was in the late 90s and I know language evolves with time.
