My parents were racists
When I was a 15 at my first full-time job I said a phrase that would today be considered a racial slur. It genuinely, innocently rolled-off my tongue without effort, I'd heard it a million times, I'd said it often at home.

A co-worker gently re-educated me about what & wasn't the right thing to say but more importantly she explained WHY, Bless her
She told me never to repeat it. Never have, never will
It was an awakening
It was the first time I realised 3 things
1. I was racist
