During a recent interview, I recalled a discussion I had with my daughter where I attempted to contextualize for her the progress that has been made ā€“ though by no means completed ā€“ since I was growing up in Boston and, as a child, heard the word ā€˜f*gā€™ used on the street before I knew what it even referred to, i explained that that word was used constantly and casually and was even a line of dialogue in a movie of mine as recently as 2003; she in turn expressed incredulity that there could ever have been a time where that word was used unthinkingly.
