That's the core of the issue, isn't it? When those who identify as the same group disagree on terms pertaining to the group they're in, the level of offense it brings
I don’t think it’s that complicated. A lot of words that are found offensive can be used in many ways that are not offensive. Those are not slurs.
Some words like the n word, ch*nk, or k*ke aren’t used in other ways aside from the one meaning and are slurs.
Also, I don’t think anyone here is telling anyone how offended or not offended they should be. It’s perfectly fine if a black person is not offended by the n word. We still aren’t allowing it, because it’s a slur.
