I have even considered asking for servers in restaurants, etc, who aren't throwing their "status" in my face. When asked why, I can begin to scream "I don't feel safe"! In my ignorant blue area, that gets attention.
They should be called 'genocidal maniacs' for using such language, since it's similar to the dehumanizing language that always precedes genocides. These people are disgusting.
That is the best slur meme I could find, but it is funny! It is NOT funny to be called a white supremacist. We don't get as "offended" at name calling, "crackers" doesn't bother me. But their outrage at slurs is orchestrated. Let's orchestrate our own response to the horrible dangerous slurs they call us.
I think that's going a little far. Language needs to be descriptive, and to differentiate between things, we need to articulate how they are different from one another. "The taller man" could be offensive to the shorter man standing next to him, but he's going to need thicker skin if he wants to enjoy life. "The white man" can help point out the subject of what you are talking about if he's surrounded by non whites.
I'd like to hear your reasoning for thinking colors are slurs in regards to people.
Its OK to be descriptive, but the tendency to categorize people by their skin color serves only to divide us further, ( divided we are weak).
Also it strips people of their individuality and lumps them together into arbitrary categories which make it easier to make sweeping generalizations about specific individuals we have never met.
Remember the scene in "Kentucky Fried Movie"? White dude dressed like Evel Knievel walks up to a group of black guys shooting craps in an alley. Funny.!
This is the way. Attack and call out every slur they use against you.
When they use the hate-slur "homophobic", fire back with heterophobic (which isn't a slur, it's what they actually are)
When they use the hate-slur "transphobic", fire back with normophobic (which isn't a slur, it's what they actually are)
THEY are the radical extremists with the mental illness. Not us.

Do they whip out their phones and start recording in hopes of getting internet cred on their public freakout subreddit? These people are sick!

I do believe that to call anyone white, black, brown, or any color....is a slur.

Most “black” people don’t technically have black skin

I agree. Personally I think the only time it's fine to use these terms for people is in the example I laid out.
Red-Neck is a racial slur too.
Mightve sounded like n***ers to the untrained ear if he was yelling. Lolz

his dog's name I take it
My oldest son has a dog named Oreo. I'm so worried he might be a racist. Not!
Have you seen my friend Kyle? Anyone seen Kyle? You see Kyle? See Kyle?
When I was a kid, a neighbor had a black lab named Sambo.
The dog got out one day and a few of us kids were riding all over the neighborhood yelling 'Sambo!'.
Didn't think anything of it at the time since there were plenty of Sambo's restaurants around at the time.
Little Black Sambo was a charming story and not racist. We all loved Little Black Sambo.
There are no wrong actions for them… only wrong targets.
Is doomer a slur?
Idk I dont think the way to deal with oversensitive crybabies is to also become oversensitive crybabies. Personally, I can handle the name calling.
"Paging Mr Dumbass"
"Uhh, that's Du-mas"
I get it
