"Exposure to the culture"?? In American culture apparently this is so misunderstood that nobody knows if they're offended or not: 1.) I don't think it's an insult and you don't know. 2.) Many, a majority, probably don't know what it means. 3.) Those that are offended listen to and use this language all the time. If fact, where did a 70 year old crusty white dude hear "nappy headed hos" in the first place? Did he make it up on his own? No. So what we have is a bunch of people making a big stink over something that: A.) Was said is jest, B.) Is not understood by a majority of Americans, and C.) Those that do understand it created it and use it daily. Sounds like a big pile of bullshit to me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
