I remember getting upset when a woman I really like used the word "chink" when describing some neighbor. I did not say anything but it certainly cooled my feelings for her a great deal. I have had friends who are Japanese-American, Korean, Chinese, Chinese-American, etc. I try not to socialize with people who seem like bigots. Sometimes you have no choice though.
