The people those terms supposedly refer to never consented to being referred to as such. Yes, they're definitely slurs.
They are also never used to just refer to normal people but always in a negative or an attack against normal people.
Interestingly enough, that's also how I feel about "bub." I was called that once, and I did not take it well. Because the only person I'd ever heard use that was Wolverine, towards people he is not exactly acting friendly with.
Exactly . If a term is always used to refer to someone negatively you can’t claim it’s not a slur
