Millenial racism panic (no offence intended, but im sorry if offence it taken) hear me out
I feel like my generation was early to the “whole” what is or isnt politically correct. Yhh as kids i cant lie even though (i think) we was past actually racially discriminating black people but yeah we said the n word, in any song that said it and in gest while trying to sound “cool” and “gangster” (jn itself still racist but unintentionally) and never in offence but also definitely never infront of a black person, we called anyone with brown skin a pki and any asians were chnks, as an adult in this modern day i know thats wrong and i have to make a conscious effort to not use certain words but its hard when youve grown up with a certain vocabulary, as a kid i thought “the pkis” was the actual name of the corner shops. I didnt know they were racist words they were just words, i saw know issue with other races so saw no correlation with the words being offensive. And cause of that time noone called you up on it, i had a neighbour that was only ever known as p*ki ashley, there wasnt even a “white” ashley. My point is, my kid thinks im racist but im genuinely not. My vocabulary is just genuinely habitual slang, and if im honest if that could be recognised as a thing itd do alot of millennials a favour, were not racist, but our racist parents raised us and taught us how to speak. Our vocabulary is misled and misunderstood
