Hispanics have for a while now.

Is tranny a slur now? Can we still say Lezbo or slitlicker?

(Yes dumbasses, I realize those are different groups.)

If you don’t use a hard r it’s not offensive.

I don't know what additional context would make that a good comparison. I mean, I guess he could've been saying something like this:


Context could also include accuracy. These people could be full of shite and misrepresenting what was even said.

But in a conversation about slurs based on race, ethnicity, religion, age, class, etc., I could absolutely see a logical discussion that would include both terms.

If you can't see that, then I can't help you.

Two weeks ago, a journalism professor compared using the phrase "OK Boomer" to the “N-Word.”


In fairness, Joe Burrow did tell OU's secondary "Boomer, please" 7 times.

Someone in that office should bring a big bowl of chili in.
And accidentally trip and spill it all over the protestors. Kinda like Kevin in the office.

So i get it now. Everytime a black person uses that word, they are trying to educate their fellow black folks.

frick 'em. They just want thought police laws, and they're trying to implement them one word at a time.

European speech police laws intended to help the jews have been expanded to immigrants and pretty much everyone but the native population. Now they send out police units to arrest people for Facebook posts.


Tranny tranny tranny. Say what you want. If it pisses them off, tell them to frick themselves. They likely have a lot of practice.

b. We call for a multicultural center that will include large office space and meeting spaces for marginalized groups. A common lounge area, study rooms, and a Popeyes. Outdoor/indoor auditorium. In order to accommodate the man affinity space needs of marginalized groups on this campus this Center should be at least three floors with 24/7 student access and a computer lab, media/multimedia lab, dance studio, and free printing.
