my last post about being called gook and calling the offender nigger. i'm trying to say that both should be on the same level, both are racial slurs.

by the way, gook is a vietnamese racial slur not japanese or chinese. it means poop in vietnamese.
Oh, that's good to know. Not that I'd ever use it. :/ I wasn't saying it was Japanese or Chinese, though. I was just saying that, based on my knowledge of Japanese and Chinese history in America, people with Asian backgrounds haven't had it easy in the USA.

Both should be considered just as terrible, yes. In my book, they are equally bad. I'm just telling you why, socially, people tend to think that "nigger" is worst.
