Helpful Hint About Racial Epithets

[Effete Snob]

When someone upsets you, and even if you are justifiably upset by a wrong thing that person did, it does not then become appropriate to use a race-based epithet or trope against them.

The only thing it demonstrates is that you are a person who uses racial epithets, regardless of your high standards and limited use of such things to a select few of the target group who "deserve it" or even when it's not about their race but "it's about the hypocrisy" (and that makes it okay to show your own hypocrisy).

"Racial" can be likewise substituted for gender or orientation based epithets, along with other sorts of insults which have their core in aspects of personhood and personal identity.

Just a thought.
