Message: [QUOTE="Santa, post: 3597045, member: 11237"] Worked at the Coles in Mt Druitt as a kid (lived 20min away). Mt Druitt, along with a lot of Western Sydney is one of the most culturally/ethnically diverse places in the country (most people there are born overseas). But it's also (or was) pretty low on the socioeconomic index. Casual racism (like in a lot of Western Sydney) is just part of the place. While we knew that certain words/insults/slurs were racist, we still used it as part of our general vocabulary. No one took it too seriously, because there was no real malice behind it (most of the time). It's weird, because thinking back, it was always laughed about when "coloured" kids would say racist things to each other, but if a white kid said it, it was taken differently (like the intention was perceived as being different).
