I am asking a question about racial slurs I encountered today inside my class.

Is it healthy in a learning environment to make fun of people living on the margins of society? That is what my Economist instructor did today and I could not say a word since I am not from here (America) and was overwhelmed by the # of whites in the classroom.

It is true that discriminating others are perpetuated by deliberate government policy and widespread social and institutional practice
