I was shooting a girl from Alabama not too long ago, and she was intrigued that my assistant's nickname (he's a Jewish guy from NYC), is "El Negro". Finally, about an hour into the shoot she couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "So why d'y'all call him "El Negro"? Is that 'cause he's your hahahahahaha? <--- GFY censored me... how funny.
You don't hear the n-word much here in Los Angeles... I guess it's much more likely to be Word of the Day in Alabama.
Later, she told us about the brother and sister who live down the road from her, who have 3 or 4 retarded kids, and how they're "gettin' checks" as they're on welfare.
