I agree! Perhaps, the fact that it is not being paraded out so willingly is a good step. I have a tendency to use the word fuck as an adjective because I don't see anything wrong with the word itself. However, as I have witnessed others discomfort with that word, I have decided to say it less. Consequently, I find, since I don't want to use it quite as often, it is leaving my vocabulary and my mind as well. Perhaps the same can happen on a socitial level with racism and bigotry in general.

I think bigotry and racism come from fear. Fear is loud and unreasonable but persistant.
