Aside from hate speech, I honestly don't care what kind of language my kid uses. But I'd be pretty disappointed if they reduced groups of people into negative stereotypes like this.

You don't bust into a church or interview swearing loudly. You don't try to communicate every thought with a curse word. But fuck it, they are handy sometimes.
