> I've been in a taxi when two middle east decent people start screaming to each other "churka" Another way of interpreting this sort of culture is that they know not to take things too personally and that intent behind words is more important than the words themselves. It's a kind of liberating way of interacting with each other, and not uncommon to see in environments like fraternities or sports teams. Some people will call that culture exclusionary, but I might call those people neurotic. To put it another way, who are you to be offended on behalf of the people calling each other churka? Clearly they're not offended by it, so shouldn't you let them have their fun?
