Maybe the solution is to stay off Twitter, but it’s very disturbing to see the normalization of slurs happening in real time on there. White people saying the n-word with approval, the return of saying “gay” as a pejorative, lots of casual racism against Indian men, using the r-slur to describe something seen as stupid. I don’t know whether this is a larger cultural lurch to the right, or whether it’s mostly attributed to Musk’s elimination of quality control and monitors on the platform.
Only slur I ever hear on a regular basis is the r-slur from people at work. That’s it. I haven’t heard someone say the n word in public in a hot minute and I don’t think it would go well where I am (a not awful place in the south).
I think that’s just twitter lol.
