There’s a difference between being perfect and not using racial slurs and telling someone they don’t below in the country due to race.

The rules for racism keeps changing. U will be accused at some point as well. Tough to avoid anymore.
Tough to avoid because you're racist. And dim witted.
Depends on what is considered racial slurs. I feel “white privilege” is a racial slur. If not why not? No rules on who gets to decide. I take except to white privileged. I’ve had to work extremely hard to get to where I’m at with many obstacles.
You can think it’s a slur, but you’re an idiot and a baby. It just means your life wasn’t made more difficult by your race. But let’s pretend it is a slur, are you really saying it’s equivalent to the one used by the woman in the video
She was using it to provoke a reaction. Why because she wanted to get it on video to rile up a bunch of liberals about how racist of a country we are and u all fall for it every time. That’s one woman who is probably drunk. Of course no one says tings they shouldn’t when drunk. But if u want to go on life belieiveing everyone is awful carry on. Don’t envy your miserable life.
Re-read my post earlier explaining what WP is. I dont think it means what you think (or want) it to mean.
But calling someone a "spic" is perfectly okay...

Boy, you really think she thought about all that right there? She escalated the situation with what she said and how she said it. The woman in the car then took it to another level. The first woman was insensitive, the second was racist.
I think it’s very telling that you’re ascribing such bad motives the person recording the encounter.
I don’t believe everyone is awful, but I also don’t live in an environment where people use slurs like that. Do you live in that environment?
Good post! I will also add that when someone confronts another with the phrase "White Privilege" it seems to either bounce off the person it is directed to, with no offense, and that person understands the deeper meaning. Or, that person is offended by it, and takes it personally, like @HFCS stated a few posts ago (he beat me to it!). That second person maybe has a little or a lot of actual racism in his/her soul, and becomes defensive. At the very least that person has not stepped out of his/her shoes long enough to consider what it is like for POC.
I guess you could call it by a different name. I'm not sure it would change peoples hearts or the way they see the world.
There's no amount of alcohol I could drink that would cause me to start using racial slurs. Can you say the same?
Here is a really simple way to explain this.
All else being equal in terms of the challenges you have faced, do you or do you not agree that a person of color would have additional challenges that you do not simply because of the color of your skin?
“White privilege” does not mean you, me, or other white people have all been born on third base, that our lives are always easy, or that you haven’t worked for what you have. It also doesn’t mean that you’re racist or that you should feel guilty for being white.
All it means is that some people face challenges and obstacles because they’re a person of color that white people generally don’t have to worry about.
That’s it. Quit reading so far into it.
Yet you're the one assuming the worst of the victim of the accident based on nothing. If you think you could be goaded into blurting out racist remarks like this woman, you may want to consider some self-reflection.
Scary that multiple people here assume anybody can be baited into racial slurs.
I would hope for 90% of people it’s just not in their vocabulary even at their most angry or annoyed.
I’ve told the story in the cave of two separate incidents during height of Covid “China” panic where my wife was victim of two racial hate incidents where police reports were filed and investigations were made, it was a giant spike in my 19% Asian community and she wasn’t alone.
The idea that she left our home that morning hoping to be verbally and physically assaulted because of her race (not even Chinese) is literally the most stupid thing I’ve read in my entire life.
People. Get over this fragility. Black, Latino, Jewish, muslim, lgbt, native Americans, Asians…they don’t leave the house hoping people threaten them and assault them over their minority status. This is some fantasy born of personal insecurity. It’s a sickness.
I am not going to go into how much is wrong with what happened in this video, how much we saw and didn't see and the events that happened after, with doxing the wrong people because of a rush of internet warriors.
What I am going to say whatever you want to call any of the comments about race, whether they are slurs, comments, derogatory or praise. When you start making an issue with someone because of their race, it is wrong. No matter what race, no matter what the issue.
We need to stop labeling people period, if you think someone gets something because they are white, or did something because they are black, or whatever the case may be none of it is right. Sometimes Bad people do bad things, and sometimes good people do good things, and none of it has anything to do with what race they are, but what kind of person they are, their character.
Just stop it.

I’m 100% sure I’ve said something I shouldn’t have in a heated moment.
I’m 100% sure I’ve never called anybody a racial slur.
