      They said everywhere else thinks it’s wrong. I guess what I said technically isn’t the same, but if everyone thought it was wrong it wouldn’t exist. Regardless, my point still stands that it isn’t seen as wrong everywhere else either. There are a lot of places where it’s seen as normal, or even good.

        Their point was that thinking there’s a one way directionality associated with the term between specific races is a seemingly unique US perspective. Elsewhere that directionality doesn’t exist and it’s understood that it can go any direction, even if the bigotry exists there too.

          Yes, they corrected what they said, but the original comment says it’s seen as wrong everywhere, and it isn’t. I’m not going to debate this any further. I don’t know why you’re arguing with me. I agreed that it’s just called racism in my first comment. What is your goal?

            You doubling down on being wrong, and me pointing it out, is not me arguing with you. There’s no edit marker on that comment. Keep digging that hole.

              Yes, it still says everyone thinks racism is wrong! I agreed it’s just called racism! I just disagreed that everyone else thinks it’s wrong. Is this incorrect?

              Also, are you using an alt to downvote me and upvote yourself? There’s no way someone is following this this closely. Fucking weird for you are.
