Several times yeah lol. I've collected a number of AA's but no one will let me trade them in for the big prize. Oh well, I'm on my own timeline. I will get a Ph.D before I die.

Re: ranking slurs

Does it really need to be said that the generational trauma and continued oppression of black people in the western world far exceeds the impact of any other minority group's experience and that the n word carries an entirely different punch than any other slur?

Ftr I agree with Lucem, anyone can say anything they want, but no one is free from the consequences.

Also Re: the Bay Area I do acknowledge it's a different world here (around Pride we have the D*ke March for example, and I legitimately have never heard it used as an insult).

You realize there are at least dozens of Native American tribes that were completely exterminated right? None of them exist anymore. They’re extinct. A fully successful genocide was inflicted upon them. They weren’t relocated. They were removed permanently from the planet through systematic government sanctioned murder.

That’s hard to beat.

Oh really? I've never ever heard of that wow.

Yeah I'm ****ing aware, I grew up on a reservation lol. Very familiar with indigenous struggles. Which slur applies to these tribes that equates to the n word?

The answer is nothing. Idk why you're so into one-upping the oppressed. Did you know the holocaust happened? Have you heard of the children's crusade? What the **** is the point in comparing them, the discussion was specifically about the n word.

I would consider calling an actual disabled person a retard basically the same as calling a black person the n word

But that's not how it's usually used

It's not just about who suffers more it's also about the specific baggage of the word and how common it is. Can't think of a slur for Indians that has the same kinda weight the n word does. You're just being disingenuous.

Somewhere there's a group of mentally disabled people who have pretty passionate stances about dropping a hard durr in any context.

I'll see myself out.

It's used to infer that mentally disabled people have a lower place in society.
