You come off as really socially irresponsible
Like Brovo already said, let's avoid personal attacks here.
I'm all for discussing this idea, for as much I'm trying to avoid debates lately this topic specifically is one that is constantly becoming more and more relevant in society, and thus I think does need some serious, honest, respectful and open discussion.
A black man is most likely going to be treated differently and go through life with a different flavor of background noise, just like a lesbian is going to have a different high school experience from a straight girl--that's how things are today.
Yes, this is true. But at that point it becomes a question of if we want to use that as reason to treat each other differently over it, or if we want to want to break the division and view everyone on the same level.
I just happen to in the latter position, to the point that I feel it goes both ways.
We can unite under one banner as humans and all, but you have to respect that we are also different people who come from different circumstances.
No disagreements there. But that's what (for me personally) it ultimately comes down to, respect.
Respect would be saying "I know you find this a personal topic, so I would say it when near you, of my own volition".
Meanwhile there isn't any respect happening when people start trying to ban entire demographics from using certain words.
No one is (or very few people are) stepping up there and saying "I get you don't like this, so I'll stop".
They're simply being intimated into not saying it, and over something such as how they were born.
PS the dictionary definition will always pale in relevance to popular connotation
I know. I purposely linked to the original definition so there'd be no confusion.
Cause I knew full well if I didn't people would just assume I made a typo and think I was attacking Gay people.
