the problem with most people’s skin any more isn’t the color- it’s the lack of thickness.

Exactly. Some people can be "offended" by anything if they look hard enough.

I recently had this discussion with a black coworker who complained of prejudice towards her at a facility we serviced. When asked why she felt that way... she said the staff ignored her and "if they could have used the "n" word....I have no doubt they'd have used it". I told her they ignored me as well for the first 2 months I went there.....basically because they were so short-staffed and busy.....not having time to visit or entertain the outside help.

As far as this article goes.....people need to get a grip. I've described my grandchildren as little monkeys......because they're into everything and bouncing off-the-walls at times. It would never occur to me that it could be taken as a racial slur. Good grief!
