[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 child) I like how you completely ignored my arguments. Is it acceptable for a white person to tell another white person they're "acting like an [n-word]?" Yes or no. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com -10 points 1 year ago (2 children) it wasn't good, you just threw some shit in a bowl and went "ooh argument" Is it acceptable for a white person to tell another white person they’re “acting like an [n-word]?” Yes or no. again, i'm not saying that people are acting like retards, i'm calling them one. There's a contextual difference that you don't seem to understand. Now if we're going to fix that argument for you, free of charge you would say something like "is it ok for a white person to call another white person the N word?" could go either way depending on the context. Heavily context dependent usage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Lvdwsn@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago I’ve got no stick in this fight but just wanted to chime in and say you’re losing this argument buddy permalink fedilink source parent [–] Objection@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago* God, what a shit perspective. Comparing someone to a category as an insult is also insulting the people in that category regardless of whether the person it's directed at is part of the category or not. Calling a white person the n-word is offensive to black people, calling a straight person the f-slur is offensive to gay people, and calling neurotypical people the r-slur is offensive to the mentally disabled. If I call you a "pasta eater" it would only work as an insult if there's an unstated assumption that eating pasta is bad. If I call you "gay" it only works an insult with the unstated assumption that being gay is bad. This isn't rocket science. permalink fedilink source parent
