    Yes that's true, you didn't slur anyone in real life. But in the PC world of the liberals, just the mention of another ethnicity by a Caucasian is a slur. See, as a white guy, you're an oppressor, so you have no right to mention another's ethnicity.

    But, "those people" can refer to you in any number of ways and that's OK.
