    So calling someone a common racial epithet always a slur? Ignoring context is stupid because it is willfully ignorance. Clearly context matters.

    Furthermore who defines it as as a slur. I know someone who is mentally delayed that throws around the removed word all the time. Are you offended for them?

    Also retardation has fallen out of favor for medical diagnosis. It has not fallen out of favor for a general insult, no matter how badly you want it to. Once again, ignoring context.

    Lastly punching down refers to social ridicule from a high standing group to a low standing group. This did not happen. You are clearly wrong to say it did.

    So yeah you are acting stupid and you continue to double down on the stupidity like it is a badge of honor.

    I read your argument, it was stupid. I thought it was important to point out.

    Why was it stupid? First of all it is only a slur to someone who is mentally delayed. It wasn’t being used in that context and it is clearly not punching down. It is an argument an idiot would make. Cheers!
