Episode notes
Context Shapes Offensiveness
- Offensiveness depends on context like the target's age and the humor's cleverness.
- A joke about a 9-year-old is far more offensive than about an adult, regardless of the word itself.
Intent and Character Matter
- Offensiveness hinges on intent, humor, and the speaker's character.
- Knowing the speaker is good-natured makes offensive words easier to forgive.
Say Offensive Words Confidently
- Say offensive terms confidently and without hesitation to avoid appearing racist.
- Nervousness around saying slurs often signals latent prejudice to listeners.
