Is it normal that i don't care if a word is offensive to someone

To me it doesn't matter what someone calls you. I am black and if someone called me the n word I wouldn't get in a fit over; me arguing with them or fighting them isn't going to change their thoughts about black people. Just because a group of people don't like being called something doesn't mean people aren't going call them that in their head or with their group of friends. Also, I think that when someone goes to court over naming calling that's even more stupid. That's like saying it's okay to call me names as long as you give me money when you do.

    Some cuss words are so overused in name calling that they lose their meaning after a while and make the users look immature.

    People ARE oversensitive, and most 'offensive' words were once common place and regular.
    People hear something and stick their meaning to it, without regards to what was meant when it was said.

    I'm very much the same. I do watch my language, but if one of my friends texts Tia name, I have to laugh at them.

    I'm white, and I don't care if somebody calls me a cracker. The N word was meant to be a slang term for Nigerian, so I honestly don't see how that's bad at all. But, like the other two above, it is insulting when they something that's meant to be insulting such as harem girl or sex slave. I don't think "spear thrower" is such a bad term because it could be used in a joking manner.

    I personally don't mind, but everybody should still be respectful to eachother, because everybody reacts on different ways to percieved insults. There is no logic as to what insults a person may take offence to, and just because a person does take offence, it doesn't make them over-sensitive. But yeah, normal.

    I think it depends on the word. I had a black friend that didn't give a crap if you called her the N word. But one day someone called her "a spear thrower" and she had no idea how to react. But she probably wouldn't go to court about it.

    I'm brown and when a guy (who thought he was being artistic) called me a harem girl, a sex slave, I nearly punched him in the face. I'm pretty chill but that was something I can't get over. I do think there's a difference between saying something in your head and outloud.
