Talking to leftists is a shell game where you have to guess which cup is hiding the approved words. I literally don't know how I'm supposed to describe black people in 2020. Is "black" acceptable?
Every day at 11 AM my county health department posts the latest COVID figures for the region. Maybe the colored blacks should do the same thing with approved language since it seems to change so FUCKING MUCH. SERIOUSLY. How big of a difference is it between saying "of color" and "colored????" It's practically the same fucking thing. CHRIST.
I still to this day will die fighting people that "Jap" is only a slur if you keep treating it as one and the historical context is foreign to everybody. Without it, its the same simple abbreviation as "Jew" and "Brit."
Like all "slurs", there is no correct answer. Its only a weapon to bludgeon people you don't like with. Otherwise none of them would exist. Most of them have no actual definition beyond "this word makes me feel bad" and so they only exist because of the power the "victim" chooses to give them.
Point is, its all a game and "marginalized" people deserve to be treated like the babies they are if they play these word games.
Without it, its the same simple abbreviation as "Jew" and "Brit."
Speaking from experience here, jews and non-jews alike will selectively feign offense to this and "jewish" as well regardless of context depending on who is saying it. There is no truly safe word.
Not that I respect that abusive technique anymore.
