I just got up from conversation with a couple of older black men, that I said “well I got to go back to work and start cracking the whip.” And it occurred to me then that it was probably a really insensitive stupid thing to say.

Sadly, it hadn’t occurred to me until it’s already said.

    I know some people that refer to Japanese motorcycles, mostly “crotch-rockets,” as ricers.

      The only people I know who say that are in fact Japanese, but I agree it is a racist term.
