It's funny how not to long ago it was thrown around casually and race relations were at its peak best. Definitely better than today. It was all about tone and usage. Back when adults understand how that works.

Pulp Fiction is a reminder of those days.

You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they're acting retarded.

I knew this was a nothing burger when I honesty couldn't think of what word would be classified as the R word.

Fun Fact:

Most ARC agencies around the nation had “Retarted” in their founding documents as their acronyms were the XYZ Association of Retarted Citizens.

Some have renamed their agencies to just the letters and removed Retarted in their documents and charters.

Not true. I despise the word when used as an epithet.

He should sue the ever-loving crap out of them. He said the name of the institute he worked in while in high school.

That's the same path that the clinical terms "moron", "imbecile", and "idiot" took. There's a lot less revanchist politics frisson though if they're not from living memory. If RFK Jr. started calling mentally sub-normal people "morons" it would just make him an a-hole, but to call them "retarded" pushes just the right political buttons.

Retahded" or "hard R"? Big difference.


Yep. RFK Jr. may be born and raised in Virginia but New England is in his DNA. We use that word with the same intent that everyone else may use “idiot”, “moron”, “dumbass”, “imbecile”"………… We just don’t consider it a slur.

Among the most focused-on parts of his remarks was when he said retarded, in reference to a now closed school in New York that catered to people with developmental disabilities

So we are now to use more soothing words like people with developmental disabilities or mentally challenged? No more short bus riders.
