I have always been puzzled as to why people of various groups accept that certain derogatory gestures, names, etc are acceptable when used within the group.
If we are not willing to say "Hey, that is wrong/offensive, even amoungst us," then we really should not be allowed to complain when someone outside of the group does it.
We should all stand up for what we believe to be right-even if the people in the wrong are ourselves or our peers.
