"*****", same thing... only to be use by african-americans, but lets be honest, nearly everyone uses the term. African-americans don't like that other races use it, and feel ofended, that's being hipocritical.
There is no doubt that today's society would look down upon "******" as slang term to be used today. not many people do for that same reason.

"2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings"
One cannot use the fob freely, even against themselves, and then feel it's not ok for others to use the same terms, IF the following statement applies: I feel the word xxxxx is degrading and racist.
If you feel that way, you wouldn't use it. If you do, and that is how you feel about that word, you are indeed a hypocrite.

So being hypocritical is bad, but even so it does help when others who are outside of that group do it?

Thanks for your opinion. However, I will still continue to use the word "FOB"whenever I encounter people who have cars adorned with outrageous amounts Doraemon and Hello Kitty paraphernalia. 
Might I also suggest that you grow some thicker skin?

just to shed a little comical "politically correctness" up in the socali hizouse fosho nah mean. but in all seriuosness either way, ***** or ******, fob or no fob, its the same thing. some take it personal when somebody they dont know dishes out the term (whatever your race is) and will take offense. take forever example local socalian advancetekwrx dished out the "fob" word some time ago (on kenji again i believe) and though HE is asian also he was clobbered on the very same thing. we gave him the same warm welcome and now the dude wont race with us at dromo 1 though he always talks about going there and blah blah whatever. it is maybe or/not hypocritical being kenji calling himself a fob but who am i to say when or when not to take offense. same **** different day...
A very true statement, but nevertheless, don't say that it's not ok to use a term and then go use it yourself. That's pretty much only point, that a few of the members that came out claiming that the term used was offensive themselves use the same words. it's evident that that is hypocritical...
