Are you calling them Quakers as a derogatory slur or are they actually Quakers/Religious Society of Friends people.
I don't get either of those contexts.
When I read "Quakers", I just recalled Quake III Arena and thought, "that doesn't fit".
Quakers were some anti authority religious minority (Christian) in Scotland/England. They were notorious for their lack of respect. E.g. used "thy" instead of the formal you. (English changed since then and the informal thy fell out of use)
A "slur"? No. But I was referring to the overly strict, hair-splitting kind of religious extremism that adheres to the letter of the law, not the spirit/intent.
So yes, you did. Quakers (used to be) quite progressive.
