But what is a racial slur? 
Here's how the OED defines that particular variation on "slur.": an offensive term used deliberately to show a lack of respect for a particular group of people. Presumably, a racial slur would be one that shows a lack of respect for a particular group of people specifically because they're from a different race.

It's worth noting that the operational definition of a slur employed by this forum is not that of the OED and differs in significant aspects.

I had a good sense that he wasn't long for the forum immediately on reading his first post.

I miss all the fun chew toys. Sad

Only a week off? For reflection? There will be precious little reflecting by this ass-clown.

Is there a pool on how long this one lasts after (if) it returns?!?

I give it an hour max.  

My question to the OP is, It's not can you post-racial slurs but why do you need to post racial slurs

There are legitimate reasons, as there are also illegitimate ones. I got hammered a few years back for using a slur humorously. And talking about how slurs are used can be cumbersome when they must be avoided. It's a complex topic, made none the easier by Tibbs and company's prior rulings on the matter.
