'Did you know that French people everywhere in the world are named frogs? It's true! You must have heard it, of course; frogs. And if you put yourselves this question, I also am called a frog. It is not an insult, actually, it is a compliment. I always wanted to know why and where this whole thing began'

and in French...

'Aviez-vous que les francophones partout dans le monde sont nommes des grenouilles ? Et oui ! Vous avez bien entendu ; des grenouilles. Et si vous vous posez cette question, moi aussi je me fais appeller une grenouille. Ce n'est pas une insulte, en realite, c'est un compliment.'

There is absolutely no good reason to slur another person. I don't care if it is race, color, religion, gender, national origin, job, sexual orientation, disability, whatever. If you can't have the respect for other people to leave the petty name calling behind, then you are no better than those you chose to degrade.

Why is it that people chose to slander police by making up names such as 'pig' and think that it is no big deal (I know, they volunteered for that job, they can quit anytime...), but it is not OK to call someone a ...., or Ni***r, or Frog, or Hadji, or any other degrading term?
