I don't know...Maybe I'm just really laid back. I don't get offended when people make any racial comments about my origin. There are certain words that I can understand certain races being offended by. But, sometimes I think people that get offended by certain words are just people that enjoy getting confrontational. If someone used the word "Jap" to describe a person, then yes, I find that wrong. But when using it as an abbreviation for a coral, I find it silly for someone to get offended. Especially since the person typing it doesn't mean for it to be offensive. This country is getting so sensitive to everyone's feelings that is is almost to the point of being comical. I've noticed that as I've grown older, there seems to be more and more whiney, sue happy people. IMO, it doesn't seem to help us as a society at all.
