I had never heard the word hunkie used as a slur before. Jeepers.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My rural 1970s upbringing was full of racial slurs, but I've never heard that one. I'm not even sure what it's supposed to mean. Black?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I was thinking it was a variation of "honky"

Did white people use that term? (Or maybe Todd's parents' friends weren't white?)
I'm realizing this is an area where I'm SUPER naive, so I'm going to stop making guesses.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would guess from "bohunk."

Always Anti-fascist!
I think Sophia called it. I wish all the racists get my neighbor upstairs...white enough, but self-involved, lot of romantic drama(I know cause mucho Adele) and the hyperactive child that runs up and down the hall a thousand times a day and night. Seriously, sometimes I miss the drug dealers. All they did was vacuum and have cars park in the front of their place.

Definitely not something I head in rural Ohio in the 70s and 80s.

I participated in a team-building activity this afternoon, a bunch of co-workers in a locked room, solve the puzzles, find the clues, unlock the door in under half an hour.
It was actually fun. I solved some puzzles all on my own, was instrumental in a couple more, was treated as an equal, we got out with a minute to spare. I can only imagine the chaos of a group of people who aren't professional troubleshooters trying to do this.
