Re: wtf?

"Retarded" was a word I had to work really hard at getting rid of in my vocab. I'm from Massachusetts, and that word is all over the friggin' place here. I didn't even notice how often I was using it until a friend pointed it out. Ugh.

You really shouldn't focus on it or beat yourself up too much. You were (presumably) young and add to that that a lot of people (in America, at least) are taught to listen to teachers because they know all. We're not taught to question or argue with them, so it's a learning process.

I'm also a believer that intent matters a lot. You didn't go out wearing "blackface" with the intent to be a racist jerk. You were in a make-up class, you were oblivious, you had no malicious intent at all. I mean, obvs there's more to it but I really don't think you did anything too awful.

OP: Thanks. I appreciate that. Yes, I certainly didn't intend to be so thoughtless. :-/
