    by that logic it’s “ok” to call black people “removeds” because some of them call each other that sometimes, as a term of endearment.

    is that what you’re saying?

    a slur is a slur because of the derogatory context. the original comment implied that “yanks” are bigoted, which in itself is bigoted.

    edit: it’s crazy that word is blocked but not any of the others…

      Now you’re getting the point. Because Yank isn’t a slur.

        then that means wop, chink, cracker, abbo, beaner, bimbo, bongo, blackie, bluegum, brownie, heeb, kike, honky, limey, lundy, paddy, pajeet, and sambo aren’t slurs?

            first, all of those are slurs.

            second, gaslighting doesn’t work on me.

            I’m not the piece of shit making excuses that yank isn’t a slur.
