I've worked with a lot of models over the years and invariably, one of them will refer to someone within their own ethnic/racial group by a word that some would find offensive. They typically look at me, smile, and say "I can say that, but you can't". Yes, I know the history of why some groups seem to be able to call themselves a certain thing but my saying the same thing, not being a part of that group, is deemed unacceptable. Well, newsflash y'all: if group X can call themselves a derogatory term, don't think I can't learn from their example and use the same term.

Oddly, honkey and cracker are not referred to as the H-word and the C-word, yet other groups get their descriptions abbreviated with just a single letter. Why can't I be special too?!
