One is a racial slur and one isn’t 🧐

I edited my last post to point out that a slur is in fact defined as an insult, the only difference here appears to be that one is based on stereotypes of race, and the other is based on a different class. All you're doing is confirming that this has to do with specifics of race, and not any actual substantial difference.

I guess apparently you're more than happy to confirm my suggestion that people are banned from slack because staff doesn't like them, whether that difference is based upon a political difference (insulting and stereotyping a certain class of people is okay, just not black people), rather than any actual justification.

And you still haven't justified your opinion that my use in this context was not an example of an affectionate term, and not a slur or insult, in the same way that Steelcurtain and Jack's use of the terms fresa and bujee are affectionate in that context and are not then examples of a slur or insult.
