Yum, controversy.

The following story contains someone using an offensive racial term. I've decided to leave it, not to asterisk it out. Not because I approve of using the word-- I don't-- but because I think it detracts from the offensiveness of its use when people allude to it by euphemisms. If you say something bad, and another person reports what you said, they ought to say it out just as you did, instead of doing you the favor of prettying it up. EDIT (many years later): I think it's more important to be kind than to traumatize people in the name of the truth. The term in question is now masked.

But, for those of y'all who are bothered by seeing that particular offensive racial term, here's a cut.

Hmm.

I should be stressed out of my ever-lovin' mind.

Somehow, I'm not.

I just have this odd feeling that somehow, everything's going to be ok.
