Would you get offended if?

Question

I would say fag instead of gay? White instead of caucasian? Black instead of african american? Retard instead of metally challenge?

Answer 1

I am beyond being offended. I no longer care

Answer 2

No I wouldn't be offended. But sometimes you should think about it because if a person is black that does NOT mean that they are African American. They could be from Europe or Australia or __________(fill in the blank with name of country other than USA)

Answer 3

I would be offended if you said fag instead of fay.
And retard instead of mentally challenged.

Answer 4

No I would not get offended with a few of them, but I don't think I would like to be called a retard, i would rather be called mentally challenged

Answer 5

I'd get offended by the retard one... I think that one is just plain nasty.

The rest couldn't care less.
I have gay friends I call them fags, they know I'm joking with them. I call white people white and black people black, they don't care.

Answer 6

Unlike some people--I am not very easily offended--I put very little attention on the catch phrases that people use unless they are blatant outright attacks on me or my friends and or family--then it will get personal very rapid
Also if I hear biased statements that smack of bigotry etc out of people who are potential friends or business relations--- then I key a very simple ---not happening-- to their entry and move on

Answer 7

If you have to ask if someone would be offended why even say it. There is this culture of people who always seem to want to provoke someone that they perceive as less than themselves. I guess it is because they are so filled with self-loathing that they just need to project that negativity elsewhere.

Answer 8

IT'S CALLED FREEDOM OF SPEECH BABYYYY!

Phrases like that don't bother me. I know that they bother others, but I think it's not the majority it is the few.

There will always be something that offends someone and we will always have something to whine and bicker about. That is just the pure joys of life. :)

Answer 9

No I wouldn't get offended. How can you get offended with someone who is not educated. I would feel sorry for you. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Answer 10

i dont like the word Retard so i would kinda get offended with that word but the rest i dont care

Answer 11

I would think that you are not very educated nor polished. Then I could excuse you for using such language and hope that your circumstances will get better and you will learn to be a gentleman.
