His favorite was "coon". Although I remember one time I was watching the Jeffersons with him and he was like "I love that little ni$%er". And of course he called me and my brothers his little beaners.
The funny thing is he was highly educated, a WWII vet, worked for Lockheed's Skunk Works (specifically on the SR-71 and the U2 spy planes) and even worked at Area 51.
I honestly think he wasn't racist though. I just think that's the way he was raised and didn't know any better.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts
