Yep that's the one and it's as offensive as any other racial slur to any other group.

Which is why no one around here uses it.... right?

Now did you really not know that was the word that they were referring to?

I can believe that people wouldn't know what the "K" word was. Especially cheapie, because it's pretty obvious that he wasn't exposed to the whole list of racial slurs(which is a good thing) growing up. Good to know so that you know not to use it or think it's cool when other people use it

yup. i guess i've heard of it but didn't really know what it means, who it referred to, or even that it was necessarily a slur. i guess it's cool that i didn't know what it means.

i think it might be a generational thing. i talk to old people at work and they say, yeah, they are swedish, jewish, etc. they can tell because of their name.

i guess the only other race/culture i have had experience with is african americans because i lived in a black neighborhood for a long time.
