My slur? You'll have to point me to the one you mean. I know I've left many in plenty of posts but I'm not sure which one you have in mind.

Those are both broad generalizations about a large class of people without anything really backing them up. As already stated, I think you're simply wrong. And this disingenuous bit about how what you said may or may not have been a slur is straining at gnats to avoid any discussion of the actual point I was making.
