Slave isn't a racial slur, it's not even used in such a way within English.
It literally is and has been, it is the oldest racial slur in the English language, no historian denies that the word slave comes from the Slavic people or that the definition of an owned person changed to be Slavic people. Thats is by every definition a racial slur. Why are you blatantly lying after you have been repeatedly proven wrong on this? You’re now intentionally spreading misinformation, why do this?
I seriously doubt it's the oldest slur, even in the event that it was a slur.
You are reframing a word into being a slur when it isn't one. You're adding moral weight to a word that wasn't carrying it. No one called black slaves, slaves, because they thought of them as almost as worthless as Slavs. They called them slaves because they were held in bondage without consent for the purposes of utilizing their labor.
People didn't go from using the roman term "servus" and change it to slave because they thought Slavs were inferior.

The slur literally predates the English language, again you’re spewing misinformation intentionally.

Oh yeah they were totally oblivious when they renamed the ownership of humans after one specific race. It was totally innocuous right? They just did it for shits and giggles in three major languages of the time.

which is a bad thing correct? You agree that slavery is in fact a negative yes? Or are you now saying the act of slavery is a good thing?

Yes, they did you flagrant fucking retarded bitch. It’s been massively documented as to why. Why are you intentionally again spreading disinformation you disingenuous faggot? Is calling an entire race of people owned property disparaging or not?
You literally have no evidence that "slave" was ever used as an ethnic slur. More than anything, the Turks were condemned by their enslavement of the Slavs and Christians as barbarous. Not that the Slavs were barbarous and deserved it. Not even that slavery was barbarous, but that enslaving Christians was barbarous. Which then goes back to asking why you think the term slave would even be intentionally a slur against slavic peoples.
I'm starting to wonder if you think the word "Slave" is a Turkish word, despite the fact that it's clearly written in Latin. "Slave" is an English term used to describe enslavement, not the inferiority of Slavs.
It is never a violation of Rule 16 to mis-identify someone's race, even intentionally, it never has been.
