The main racial epithet used by TRTs is the term "nigger" (and it's various derivatives such as nigga, nukka, nook, etc.). Other terms also used by TRT's are "chink" (often to describe ones eyes in photos when one is squinting), and "beaner" among others. When confronted, TRTs usually become defensive and claim they are not racists, and that actually society is the problem and "we should stop being so sensitive". One common defense TRTs often use is that they cannot be racist (for using the term "nigga" for example), because they have Black friends and they use the term "nigga" around them with no complaints. One place TRTs usage of racial epithets is often seen is on their Myspace pages. TRTs usually have spent all or most of their lives in Temecula, either being born there, or moved there at an early age. Many teens who moved to Temecula from more diverse places such as San Diego or Los Angeles |
