    They’re the no-no word because someone used them to hurt someone else.
    I don’t know what “removed” means, I assume it’s black in spanish or something, it doesn’t make sense on it’s own.
    It’s just a word that people used to hurt other people, so we can’t use them.
    Literally, “we can’t have nice things” applied to word, although, whatever that word means, I guess we have other words that mean black so, ok, whatever, we still have plenty of other 6 letter words so “meh”.

    Would be nice if people stopped being such shitheads and using group dominance to subjugate other groups.

    I think instead of attacking words, we should attack the mechanic behind them ? If the slur comes out it’s already too late, the dominance play has already infected them.

    It has to be defused before they even say it. Find why people are being so shit, it’s not just a reaction, it’s not the word itself making them do it.

    There a reason why they become nasty slur-spewing goblins.

      Sure, and it’s not like there arent any efforts towards that.

      But since hate words do exist we don’t use them in order to not empower further the mechanics/shitheads that do use/promote them.

        Why isn’t this solved already ?
        Why does it persist ?
        Do the people who proclaim to be doing something about it gain something for it persisting so it never get actually solved ?
        I mean, even as I figure out what they’re for and how they’re being used, surely this has been going on for centuries if not millennia.
        So why is that shit still even around ?
        You’d think we’d have it figured out by now, dealt with and ready when the next duckface tries that crap.
        But I guess not…
