Dear LFTP: racist language at a dinner party

• How could I have confronted a dinner-party guest who used the n-word twice?

A Dear LFTP letter from a guest at a dinner party where another guest used the n-word twice; the writer said nothing because it wasn't her home and asks how she could have confronted it. The hosts agree the writer was hypocritical for speaking up only afterward, advise speaking up in the moment ('that was uncalled for — don't use that word again'), and note the n-word is distinct from general bad language because it is pointedly offensive toward a group. The secular answer quotes the saying that all that is needed for evil to flourish is for good people to say nothing.
