So it's not okay to say one offensive thing, but it's okay to say another offensive thing?

racist?

R*tarded

oh

Just say 'Retarded'

I know people use it to mean stupid but it actually does have a nasty history

it's not really a slur

Never was either

Either way it's still not a good thing to say

So I just call them out on it for being hypocrites

And they accuse me of being racist

ofc

Yes it is. If someone is acting stupid you call them retarded

My sister has down syndrome. The word's history is used to describe people with developmental disabilities

yeah

When you call someone retarded you're basically saying you're as stupid as someone with a disability

So what? I have a brother with Autism who has no qualms with the word

i also have family that are mentally disabled

Just because one person is okay with it doesn't mean everyone is is my point

My philosophy is - the truth hurts, and if you cannot handle it, get fucked

Telling yourself a lie only does evil

Ok

When liberals and republicans disagree with you rip

https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/mentally+retarded

Yes, we know what the word means.

didn't say you didn't know what it meant

Should say 'liberal' as one of the definitions

was pointing out that it's a medical word

I actually have autism and IDC as long as you don't say r*tardation and autism are the same thing

Yeah that was the history but overtime it began being used as an insult against people with disabilities

I will never cease using it, because strong actions deserve stronge words. I am not about to become a sissy like the left wants me to

This literally wasn't even the point of my story

Like I worked at Starbucks before I got my doctorate right? Was moving slow cuz I was having issues that day. This guy asked me why. I told him it was cuz my autism and I was doing my best. (Worked in an airport starbucks )
Got asked right after. "When did starbucks start hiring r*tards."

That's just someone being a dick

I'm blanking out part cuz idk if it's banned in this server

Get back to your story lol.

Yeah. That I care about tho cuz he isn't the only one. But he was the only one since I've been in America.

Ty

Anyways I call them hypocrites

That's hilarious

Bc they're all about "not offending people" but then start going off using insults that do offend some people
