    Suggesting that calling someone an N-word is in any way comparable to using the word retard is incredible offensive and shoes an incredible lack of respect for the harm that the N word has caused.

      That is not what I suggested. I compared your logical fallacy to a more extreme example in hopes that you notice how short-sighted your argument was.

      To remind you, your comment implied “If I can’t use <swear word>, how else will I refer to <group of people>?”.

      There are plenty of other words you can choose from both in place of the r-slur and the n-slur. Arguing that this in any way limits your vocabulary is incredibly narrow-minded.
