The author does not call anyone slurs but writes about the different slurs he learns and does not censor them. Author is sympathetic to black people he meets and finds a fatherly figure in a black coworker.

The author's uncle may be autistic but everyone says he was dropped on his head and he's "not whole". He is often upset by changes like being offered a mug of his own rather than his mother's or to live in the new house. I interpret him as being autistic as nobody seemed to know about it in the 50s and 60s and they thought a person was being difficult or they were mentally ill. The language Mrs McCourt describes him with is outdated and offensive though it seems well-meaning. She and Frank lose their patience with him frequently.
