If you weren't making serious issue of some guy using the "R" word, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. However, it was the clinical term for a certain group of disabled people for quite a long time. Now the "N" word, was never a "clinical" term, but only a term meant to demean and lower a person in esteem and general value.
It's not anymore. In fact it is activel frowned upon by most, decent people.
Oh, the N word was not just meant to demean. It was used to describe them. For "quite a long" time.
LOTS of words were used both clinically and in popular culture for "quite a long time." Which ones DON'T you think are ok to use? 'cause I thought there would be NOBODY who thought that was ok, even in this forum. It's even BLOCKED in this forum where you are a moderator. If its no big deal then you should lobby to unblock it.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
