I also don't put the r-word in the same category as the n-word.
Here's a question for you for you...do you think people should not use the words dumb, idiot, moron, crazy, or fool in disparaging ways?

1) I said would you call a non-black person the N-word.
2) I 100% people can/should use dumb, idiot, moron, crazy or fool in disparaging ways.
Why? Because those are general terms that aren't associated with a specific group as a means to disparage someone.
You want to tell someone they are dumb, or acting stupid, there are dozens of ways of doing that without disparagingly comparing them to another group of people.
If you wanted to call someone cheap would you tell them they are being Jewish?
I assume not. But why?
Jewish isn't even a slur.
It's the association, and the stereotype you are perpetuating that is damaging.
