Plus it makes you look good! ;-)

I changed the image to make it more suitable. I guess you are right about how it must be used less often as a slur, as interacial dating is pretty much not given a second thought nowadays, at least in the US (well, throughout most of it at least).

Thanks for the heads up! :-)

from Dictionary.com
half-breed
   ”/ˈhæfˌbrid, ˈhɑf-/ Show Spelled [haf-breed, hahf-] Show IPA Often Disparaging and Offensive .”

from Wikipedia.org
“The term is considered an impolite and rude offensive slur by almost everyone.”

I don’t know of the origin of the term but it certainly goes back to when it was used as a slur directed toward the offspring of an inter-racial union between an American Indian, Mexican or Black and a Caucasian. Used as an insult to indicate that such a person was somehow worthless or, at least, worth less that a person of either pure race.

With so many inter-racial marriages nowadays, it is used less often but, it is still a racially-based slur.

Tumblr is considered a cross between a full fledge blog & Twitter, although ironically you can do both with the platform. It’s half way between the two (hence the term).

If that image offends you that much, reply back and I’ll change the picture. The last thing I want is an image distracting from the article.

The post doesn’t even come close to why Tumblr would be considered a “half-breed” or why it deserves such an insult. The word is just used as an insult. I would hope intelligent people could find a better way to express themselves.
