Really? That's news to me. Seeing as how white is the minority in SoCal I know that anyone who calls a hispanic dude a spick or wetback will get hounded at. The only exception is if you are friends with each other.

A white dude can file for a hate crime just as much as a black dude can.

White people cannot call a black person a nigger, yet a Spanish person can.
It's not that they can, it's just that they choose too. And it's usually Nigga not the N word. One reason I've heard from many people is that a lot of the hispanics from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and other nations feel that they are allowed to say that word because they are part (more than a white person) black due to the plantations being there between the 16th and 19th centuries.

And i hate PC (political correctness) You cant call someone black anymore. Now they are "coloured" or "african american"
Canada must be really ****ed up then. They're called Black. I call them black. They call themselves black. Teachers call them black.

Indians, are now "First Nations" or "Native Americans".
I call them Natives just so I don't get em mixed up with many of my East Indian friends.

Nobody is brown anymore either, they are all "of middle eastern decent" Its the pu**y-fi-cation of the world.
I always thought that Brown was directed at hispanics. It's probably just different there.

And one last question, when the hell did the word "Urban" directly refer to black people??!!?! Urban means a city, like, the downtown portion of a city.
I have the same question because I have never heard a black dude been refered to as Urban.

I joke around a lot about a persons race, ethnicity, physical features, or just their way of life because I can and they can too. Everyone I know well enough to actually say this **** to doesnt have a problem with it. I poke fun at my Scottish buddy wearing a kilt to school in first period then discuss whether or not my Hindu Vegiterian friend sits down to eat dinner with their rabbit in third. I'm always blurting out racist terms to my buddies (who are 80% mexican/guati/salvi/etc.) because it's funny to me and them. I always get mine back too. I don't have hate towards any race or ethnicities though. Well, except my own...
