92. Oh, okay. So the rules against racist/ethnic slurs is that it's only bad
if it's done against certain races/ethnicities?

That's fucking dumb.

The Jewish people were never victims of Jim Crow laws - does that mean I can use the phrase "Jewed him down!" to mean that I negotiated successfully in my favor? Gypsies were never under Jim Crow - so can I say I "gypped" someone?

Man, those Americans from the southern states sure are fucking dumb, aren't they? Yes, they are! And I can say that because they were never victims of slavery, and so we have carte blanche to insult them all we want.

Did you even read what you posted?
