(20,219 posts)I'm just a lowly Sign Language Interpreter at a college. I enable education and communication between Deaf and hearing people in a wide variety of classes, meetings and events, from the most technical graduate levels to English for International students, to disciplinary hearings to business classes.
If you think there's no excuse for what I said, there's a lot of protest literature that will also offend. Ever read Allen Ginsberg's poem, "Howl"? I interpreted a performance he gave many years ago. It's a good thing i can distinguish between words meant to harm and words meant to change habitually accepted ideas.
Black writers have used "shocking" language to make their points too.
So now that we've shared our creds, ....... well, there's not much more i can say to you. You've classified me and sealed the file.
P.S. I find the term "douchebag" far more repulsive than anything I said...does that bother you too? It's very sexist. Do you attack people who use the term casually, not even to a higher purpose?
