And who decides what labels are equal?
Surely it would make more sense to base your judgment on how people use a word?
I am unaware of anyone using the word "Nazi" in a non-derogatory way (except, obviously, by people who think it is a
good thing), but taking your n-word example...
... I believe that word is sometimes used by blacks, about their fellow blacks, and in some mysterious arcane way they call "culture" it loses the negative connotation?
By the way, watch your mouth!
The word "black" is very offensive.
Or so some people would have you think.
Some people will get offended about anything... stupid labels...
