There are a bunch of sayings that are racist, but they still get used. For example, and I mean NO disrespect to anyone, the phrase; I "jewed" him down to get the price I wanted. That's disrespectful to Jews, but it means the Jews are good with money or negotiating. There are a lot of these sayings we use everyday and don't even think twice using them. Calling someone a "Retard", even saying it in fun, is not fun at all for people with a Mental Disability or to their parents. And spelling Gay as Ghay is just someone not saying the word and hiding behind their keyboard. Calling an inanimate object "Ghay" or "Gay" is an immature person who probably doesn't even know what it means. English is a tough language unlike other languages that use one word to mean several things. The English language on the other hand, have lots of words that mean different things depending how you use them. It seems we need to explain everything and every word. It's a very confusing language to understand and one of the hardest to learn.........
