being ignorant of African American history and African diaspora in general is not really a great excuse. but that's why people in other parts of the world might get your excuse. it's still pretty awful, but maybe not as awful as living in America and still being ignorant of it. or any country with a history of + hand in African diaspora, really. so like >50% of the world.

oh and if you think NOT saying slurs is racist then I think you might be one of the ignorant ones.
