(I work with a lot of latinos and grew up with it all we have also lost a few here at my job who were shot when they were trying to come back.)

Unless you have lived life as a mixed race person. You will never understand how it feels to not be accepted from either side because you are not "full blood"

Unless you have lived your life as an immigrant. You will never understand how it feels to have everyone consider you an "intruder" to the country.

This is all much bigger then just the N-bomb. It extends way further then that. People just need to grow up and show a little respect and realise that just because there "boundries" that should not be crossed. Does not mean that their damn constitutional rights to freedom of speech is being violated. Are there stereotypes. Yes. There is also a thing called culture which is where that all spawns from. People Need realize thats its not the end of the world because they shouldn't flaunt some words. I little respect is not going to hurt anyone.
And UNTIL you've lived your life as a white person, caucasion, wtfever... You'll never understand what it's like to be made out to be a racist, a rich kid, upper class citizen or anything other name that other races give to whites. It's a two way street.
