But doesn't that make the situation worse?? I mean, if I was with a hispanic friend and "gringos pendejos" "slipped", and they responded by saying "Sorry, it's just a habit", that would affect me more, knowing that's what they say all the time (and probably their actual opinion, if they say it all the time), and it was not just a one-time accident.
