The fact that most of these came from a younger generation, and not an older generation is kinda sad.

Yeah the lady probably doesn't deserve prison time or to have her kid taken away. But seriously, this bull**** has to stop.
Doesn't "NIPPY" mean it's so cold that your nipples will get hard if you go outside? I don't think I've ever considered that a racist term.
