Is "you people" a slur?

I am clueless to the reference.

I tailgate, then a quick flash of the highbeams, if that doesn't work, the highs come on and stay on, and if that doesn't work, I'll go around them and MAKE them move to the loser lane(right) where they berkeleying belong in their pile of E36 M3 anyway

As far as I know, Charmander evolves into Mila Kunis.

As far as you know, everything evolves into Mila Kunis.

You people and your PC stuff is offensive.

I wouldn't mind evolving into Mila Kunis, if you know what I'm sayin.

Where I live, it would be "All y'all". That's the proper plural for "Y'all".

"You people" is the folksy way of saying it, avoiding cultural pitfalls of "Youse guys", "y'all", or "Yo, doodz".

The better comment would have been, "Ustedes saben cómo divertirse"!

I have been using a Mac since before it was PC.

We also would have accepted "Ya'll motherberkeleyers."

Can't find a source for that, and I'm sure if Biden actually said those words it would have ignited a E36 M3storm of cosmic proportions that would have eclipsed Akin's comments. I will be genuinely shocked and disgusted if this is true.

Get ready to be shocked and disgusted -

Edit - looks like Poopy was iuntermixing some old white guy quotes. Biden, above, was the one that called him clean and articulate. Reid, below, is the one that referred to his light skin and lack of negro dialect.

No, that can't be right. He has a "D" in front of his name. The only racist people out there have "R's" in front of their name.

Man, I can't even QUOTE the some of the crazy E36 M3 the exalted grand one-eyed worm of the KKK Robert Byrd (who filibustered the civil rights act of 1964) here. They'd throw my Right Wing behind in the clank!

That is terribly offensive to women, you people should be ashamed.

Even the women here say, "You guys."

Juns have a messy dee-vorce?

"You people" isn't a slur.

I live in the wrong geo-social quadrant to understand what that means.

Its Appalachian for "you all" that starts here in North Georgia and winds its uneducated sounding ass up to Pennsylvania.

It's actually not "them", it's a certain OP who is a [redacted] (IIRC) getting bent out of shape about nothing except his angst against the man tryin' to keep a brotha (puerto rican?) down.

At least, that is how this thread started. And it is by far the silliest thread on GRM at the moment.

IBTL has been thrown around here like it's going out of style...
