    How is this helpful? Either using slurs is wrong or its not. Take a guess what happens when you give the majority a reason to dismiss your objections to their behaviour.

    You are making it more difficult to fix the problems that exist because these 2 comments only tell bad actors that they dont want equality they want superiority. Why would a group that has privilege give up that privilege just to be treated as badly as they treat others?

    Sure its ducking rediculous that this is the thing that gets a reaction, and not the endless horrors that have been done to people over history, but as long as we are willing to say, “fuck YOUR problems because you have the wrong colour of skin” you arent going to fix a damn thing, merely exchange one wrong position with another.

      Your entire comment hinges on a single false assumption. That boomer is a slur. It isn’t.

      Exactly!

      Man, these snowflakes and their checks notes avocado toast (Jim, is that still relevant? Okay, whatever.) are just full of themselves and don’t understand how hurtful it is for the generation that fucked around and left others to find out to hear a word. A word! (Seriously, who wrote this?) So, lets all be a bit kinder to the elders and stop calling people out on their bullshit. (Ok, a boomer had to write this copy. I quit.)
