Granted it was during a bleak period of my life when I was so reactionary. But my god, to think these goobers are still around today, still doing racism and sexism, just moving from target to target to take out the impotent rage on.

Just reminded of it today with the "discourse" of Yasuke being in Ass Creed and G*mers changing any woman not white and waifish with AI.

I was 12 in 2000. There were a lot of words that were "ok" to say back then that I regret having come out of my mouth.

The important thing is to move on and learn why that was bad. Don't beat yourself up over it.

One of my "friends" taught me a slur in 4th grade and it made the teacher think my parents were racists lol

Around the same grade, a friend said to me "you know why everything costs $##.99? It's called the Jewish dollar, cuz they're cheap"

I didn't know the stereotypes but learned there.

Similar to being introduced to the word gay by it being hurled at me as an insult while on the bus, didn't know what it meant but knew I didn't want to be that
