Let's see... I'm a heterosexual white male.

I've been called fa××ot, ni××er, and (for some insane fucking reason) kike. Now, I only put the ×× in those first two because they tend to get filtered otherwise, this is one of the rare instances when the terms are appropriate to spell out, so anyone trying to jump my ass about that is going to be made fun of.

Now, the fag part, that makes sense because that is something plenty of idiots default to as an insult, and it was most commonly thrown at me when I was bouncing for a few gay bars, so that made sense too.

But the other two? I'm not just Caucasian, I'm white, as in if I get more than five minutes of sun, I turn red. Almost all fucking irish and German ancestry. We pale, pasty fuckers are about as white as it gets. And it wasn't just once! Two different times the slur has been thrown at me. Neither time was I even around anyone black.

And kike? I didn't even know what the fuck it meant at the time. There was zero jewish presence in the entire county until maybe fifteen years ago. The nearest synagogue is two hours driving away. So, I assume the idiot didn't know what it meant, or he was an even bigger idiot than using the term in the first place would indicate.

People are fucking tripping sometimes.

But you know what has never, ever been directed at me? Honky. Nor has mick or kraut, though I've never thought of those as a big deal because both sides of my family laugh at them. It's just fucking weird to me that the n word in specific was thrown my way twice, by two different adults. Like, I know you're an idiot because the word came out of your mouth, but wtf? Why that one?
