Rick, you've led a very, very sheltered life, and I hope you never have an opportunity to hear of other such racial epithets.

I believe you said something somewhere about having been a native Californian - born and grew up there - so it's not surprising as the term largely has association with southern racial attitudes.

I am a native Californian also...although 10 years older than CA Rick, and I have heard the term both here in CA and in the South, where my maternal relatives reside. You are right. It is used as a racial epithet by some.
