It sounds like they are bad people but I don’t think that makes it okay to call them racial slurs. If a black person is an asshole, I’ll call them an asshole but I won’t call them a slur. I won’t make the insult be about their race or sexual orientation or anything of that sort.

I sort of agree, though, that if they freely choose to be around racists, they shouldn’t be surprised when they’re exposed to racism
