the term “slur” is often used in by conjunction with “racist” or some other discriminatory term. Which is why it was chosen.

Your programming is working, obvi :trout:
You are the only one who connected it with racism, moron. :roflmao:

Eternal victim.

Literally Auschwitz!

Ok, but lately, I mean,if you were pairing another word with slur. What word would it be
Like. On “match game”, if they were to say “Blank Slur”, you know they’re going to get 6 matches, no matter how off any of the celebrities are
Assuming the judge would say racial and racist were close enough

I’m not saying I know that was the intention of the use of the word, but if it was not intentional, then whoever said it might be a little out of touch

Well, the article clearly prefaces 'slur' with 'right wing', we don't have to guess what blank is.
So whomever equates right wing with racist is the one who is playing the match game.

I mean, why not think it's maybe a homophobic slur? Sexist slur? Transgender slur?

The right wing is capable of them all.
