there is no 'around here'
it could be anyone from anywhere.
of course it's a word you should find . . . troubling to hear so often.
but you know that.
there are people who are paid to farm others into behaving as if they ahve a degenerate personality.
the ones who do the N word bit here are usually that type.
if you think it's OK to use the word, I'm not telling you not to.
I think you'll figure it out.
the very worst thing you can do is to start to use other words for a group that takes it all too too seriously. If you start calling them out and using those words . . . you'll figure that out too.
so , it's like being at a movie theatre. What you can say there?
remember it is a free speech zone and people love to be shocking.
