Using racial slurs isn’t only damaging and insulting to the person being directly talked to or about. I suggest adopting a blanket position against racial slurs in any context.

But what about <incredibly contrived specific example involving song lyrics, guns to heads etc.>, can I say it then?

If you can’t be made fun of, you’re the bad guy.

there is a huge gap between “making fun of” and “racist bullshit”.

Not really. It’s racism when he goes around putting them down without context that makes sense or discriminates with employment stuff and whatnot.

I didnt say using racial slurs is correct. I said the act of scamming someone is so far removed from the identity of what it means to be human.

I never defended the terminology used in the post. Nor would I use that. Its shallow, and means far less than telling them they aren’t someone capable of receiving any care.

Scamming is core to what it is to be human, other animals don’t scam, and when they do, insofar as they do, we say they are like us
