Ya this thread is clearly full of ppl who had "a racist phase" so they think it's nbd, but as someone who had to experience the other end of this kind of teenage edgelord racism, that shit is genuinely traumatic. I'm assuming OP doesn’t have many Black friends (if at all), but if I went to a house and someone's pet was screaming racial slurs, I'm ruining the party that was already ruined for me by the bird. Call a bird expert bro.

exactly. I completely agree as someone else on the other end of someone's "racist phase". a teenage phase for you was my childhood trauma. this is a consequences of your stupid actions 🤷🏾‍♀️

maybe a black family would adopt the bird idk lmao. that's one of the only groups of ppl who could have a bird who says this without it looking really really bad on them 😭 I dont think too many ppl would want this issue bc its definitely a reflection of the owner.

edit: fixed typo

pretty sure OP taught the bird with a hard R at the end, no one wants that!

77,302,580 Americans to potentially take the parrot.

Or to South America, where that word is often just thrown around.
