Before finally retiring (again!), I had an Australian research assistant working for me who was just the nicest darn guy. He had a great sense of humor and would do just about anything for anybody, and was always concerned for the wellbeing of others.
Yet he referred to all non-white people by every racial epithet known, seemingly without even being aware that he was doing so. It wasn't ill-intentioned. He didn't seem to be trying to offend or insult any of them. It was apparently the way he was brought up to speak about such people.
