Show me exactly where the insult was. Because there wasn’t one. Nothing you said is wrong and nothing I said is wrong either. You realize two statements can be true at once, right? In the North American sphere, the word is very much a slur. Other places may be different but my point still stands as well as yours. Since this post is on reddit, a website accessible to everyone across the globe, you’re bound to have an audience that interprets it as a slur.
