    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?
