(28,930 posts)having worked from time to time in smaller rural towns and a with a variety of people. I hear the N word a lot more now. My boss's kid started dating an African American kid and his nephew used the N word and my boss about went to blows with him. My boss is very conservative and has his own prejudices but I was glad to see him react that way.
On a different note these same people are even more prejudice against gays and lesbians and make idiot remarks about women too.
Editing as I didn't read your entire post. I thought it was about racism we have seen not what has been directed at us. Yes, as a white kid growing up in a town that was mostly latino there was the occasional latino kid or group of Mexican kids who would call us gringo and pick on us but 99% of them don't treat me any differently than the white kids. Most of my friends growing up were latino.
