Quote:Many people find hate speech offensive, but not all speech that people find offensive is hate speech.I,m hard-pressed to think of a way an ethnic or racial slur can be interpreted as merely offensive
Quote:And I happen to think intent and context matter. I was told to stop using the n-word in examples that I had questions about during a discussion with staff-only, the reason appearing to be that Tiberius is so woke that the mere whiff of the n-word causes him to collapse in an epileptic fit from which it takes him a couple of hours to recover.I'm hard-pressed to find a context where the use of a racial slur is merely offensive, And as Tib isn't here to defend himself or give his account of events. This claim is simply unsubstantiated.

A few stumbles, but Mr. Biden seemed on his game.I'm surprised the right still trot this myth out. It didn't help them in the election and it hasn't worked since if Biden's poll numbers are to be believed.
