Using racial slurs isn't only damaging and insulting to the person being directly talked to or about. I suggest adopting a blanket position against racial slurs in any context.
But what about <incredibly contrived specific example involving song lyrics, guns to heads etc.>, can I say it then?
If you can't be made fun of, you're the bad guy.
there is a huge gap between "making fun of" and "racist bullshit".
Not really. It's racism when he goes around putting them down without context that makes sense or discriminates with employment stuff and whatnot.
Lol, i said "i got mugged by n-words", its racism. when the 4chan dude says "pajeets scam me", its racism.
Mo matter how angry you are, if you use racial slurs, you're kinda racist.
My best friend in the entire world is Jewish. He's the most open handed guy I've ever met and I talk to him every single day. Not once in over a decade has he mentioned the over $10k I owe him.
My boss at my job is installing a turnstile to keep track of stolen time despite how the company owes literally all of us because the system isn't tracking our lunch breaks properly and HR just brushes it under the rug. My boss installing the turnstile is a Jew.
Conveniently enough, our CEO and my best friend actually have the same exact name. No relation. Also my bestie doesn't do the hair drills thing or the little hat.
You're gonna probably think it's weird that I have this magnificent example of my stance in pocket, but even if I made this up(and I didn't), it's still a good explanation of my point.
When you're mouthing off to someone, it's your goal to make them mad, and pointing out a stereotype that fits is a really really effective way to do that.
I didnt say using racial slurs is correct. I said the act of scamming someone is so far removed from the identity of what it means to be human.
I never defended the terminology used in the post. Nor would I use that. Its shallow, and means far less than telling them they aren't someone capable of receiving any care.
Scamming is core to what it is to be human, other animals don't scam, and when they do, insofar as they do, we say they are like us
