| Ironically enough: While SMIBs find the term SMIB to be as offensive as using the N word, it is those same people who are most likely to use the N word. ![]() |

Based on what I have observed I would say that the ones that use the "N" word the most are the very same ones that it is meant to insult. For some reason they don't consider the word to be insulting when they use it amongst themselves.

| I was being somewhat facetious but you do make a good point and intelligently if I may say so myself. But in asking out of curiosity I wonder if those same people are the ones who cant figure out why blacks call each other the n word but get mad when others do it. Are SMIBS the same way? Ricidulous as it may sound "some of my best friends are smibs"and I mean that. |

I too have many friends that descend from the original settlers, but I call them locals, being a transplant myself.

| I'm too lazy to go through all these posts to see if someone already said this: The rule of thumb on racial or ethnic slurs is those of us who love them or are them can say it. Everyone else better shut up.
