Neo-Nazis in Financial Meltdown

[CharlesPhipps]

I like Matt Damon's movies but if he's a scumbag, he's a scumbag.

People like scumbags in that case and your label is worthless.

I actually have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

Are you Matt Damon's brother?

Are you Kyle Damon?

Does he need your defense?

It's not that hard, Slash.

You have to go trough the intersectionality mine fields, Spanish Etiquette school, allyship labyrinth, ask advice from a Latinx Gypsy magician...

And it goes on and on...

Or you can just try to be polite, and when somebody says "don't call me a faggot" or "that's a slur", stop using the word in question. If somebody says "these are my pronouns", use the pronouns they ask you to.

Tell that to Matt Damon.

If I ever meet the man, then I will.

In the meantime, what makes it so hard for you to be polite to people when they correct you?

On the left it's the most natural thing to call someone with his credentials a racist.

I don't remember the last time that happened IRL.

The people who correct me are usually not polite on the Internet.

Well then, let me politely tell you that the G-word is an anti-Romani slur, and I would prefer if you stopped using it. They're still getting their asses kicked in Europe and the Nazis hate them almost as much as they hate Jewish people.

Did the /GypsyRomani people, vote on it regularly or it's some Ivory Tower invention?

He is a proper polite leftist and the press treats him like trash so why bother?

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

Slash, it costs $0 to not use a slur when somebody tells you it is a slur. Did I fail to be polite?

i think you are wrong and i don't like you enough. i also don't think of it as a slur.

You don't think Latinx is more offensive than a theoretical slur?

[GloatingSwine]

You don't think Latinx is more offensive than a theoretical slur?

Why would you think it is?

Comes out of US universities/press. Doubt the most poor people of that origin were consulted about it.

Why do you think that's a reason for it to be offensive? (Please be specific).

And rather than taking the seven seconds it would need to look up the origin and use of the word on google, you ask me to hand you some sources.
The g-word isn't a theoretical slur, it is an actual slur.

Here's the difference. If somebody politely asks me to stop using that word to refer to people of Hispanic origin, I will do it, and if I'm unsure why I will look up the origins of the word and its relevance in current society, because it costs me absolutely nothing to do so. It is polite, and as a writer, I have a vast multitude of other perfectly serviceable words at my disposal and plenty of other ways to convey information without using that word.
See? Why is this so hard for some people?
