What’s with this burning desire to have an instrumentalized slur for anything and everything? I mean I am not saying don’t use scornful, perjorative or even deragotary language but it can be a lot less specified while remaining targeted. It reminds me of how Anglophone countries have so many slurs all with some purposeful meaning while in most other countries a slur is often just an ignorant exonym that became crude and offensive to use or a generalized variant of foreigner or weakling or whatever.
When people were able to freely use it (encouraged to do so), the targets of racists’ hatred were legally considered second class citizens at best, and subhuman at worst
someone should remind the cops that they’re not exempt from being made fun of either.

I think it’s about what the slur represents

They want to return to that (or further back)
