Hood rat for starters. This one’s so easy don’t bother me with it again

And yeah I say some pretty bad stuff sometimes so I know it when I see it.

I’m trying

It was completely wrong to get this person a perfectly good kidney knowing they were going to waste it and look what they did.

But there was no reason to use other names.

If it was an Italian neighborhood like mine I would have cared quite a bit if he used the word wop.

Hood rat is not a compliment :-)

FTA: (the referenced behavior) "... his “high risk” lifestyle, which included burglary, weapons charges, arson..."

I don't GAS about the skin color - the referenced behavior totally fits the label. I believe ML King Jr. called it "content of their character" so let's go with his kinder/gentler terms, if you prefer. Now we're just dealing with semantics rather than your reactionary response that plays into the hands of those who despise plain language for its lack of soft edges.
