When someone uses outdated racial terms, how can I tell if they are lying?
user
In most cases, when someone uses outdated racial terms, their intentions can be discerned by the context in which the terms are used and how they interact with others. After paying attention to nonverbal signals such as tonality and body language, one can then observe the person's actions - do they attempt to defend or clarify their statements, or do they appear aggressive or apologetic? If a person shows remorse after using offensive language and attempts to educate themselves on its harmful implications and effects then you may deduce that they are not lying.

When someone uses outdated racial terms, it can be difficult to determine if they are lying or just unfamiliar with the correct terminology. Generally, though, if an individual uses a term that is outdated and/or offensive, it can be assumed that they are not being truthful.
