      Was it the word mulatto? That is definitely regional on how offensive it is, or more accurately how offensive it used to be. I didn’t know it could even be considered a slur til I moved 2000 miles away. Again, this was in the late 90s and I know language evolves with time.

      Oh, shit, apparently I’m nearly as bad. I didn’t realize that was offensive(assuming google even found the right word lol). I absolutely see how it is after thinking about it, though. Thankfully I don’t think I’ve ever actually called anyone that.
