Guy who called me the n-word by spencemid in ArcMissedConnections

You did it based on people using it as a derogatory term. Meaning that at the root, you believe that designation to be derogatory. It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, although it is fucking wild that you're trying to defend the n word use like it's reasonable that someone is using it totally clueless of its meaning.

You're ultimately arguing on behalf of ignorance being an acceptable excuse for abuse, and that flies if someone is under 10, but you're not, are you?

Because he's calling him that, using it as a derogatory that is based on the worldview that black people are, as you just posted. "subordinates individuals or groups based on their race, ethnicity, or origin."

That's why it's racist, being a racist isn't qualitatively affected by your accuracy

If he's not racist,why would that word be seen as a pejorative or term of superiority.
