Pretty gross to respond that only people on the right use "slurs," after being given several examples of why various minorities would want to use them.

I'm pretty sure the n-word is used a lot more by black people than by "right wingers"

It's not a slur when black people use it. Most of the time.

Mhm.. yeah I've never been able to follow that line of reasoning.

I'm a gay person and if I call someone the f-word I would generally mean it as a slur / insult.

Bigotry / offensive words doesn't just lose meaning because you're a minority.

Social and cultural dynamics remain what they are regardless of whether you personally find them rational.

You mean it's fine to let some groups get away with much more, out of guilt.
