I agree with you. I don’t think the use of the word retarded is the same.

  If it's not exactly the same, it's very similar. It's a slur, used by members outside a group, defined by birth, to insult them and discriminate against them.

    I could see how someone could hold the position you do, I just don’t agree with it. You’ve picked out the similarities, but have ignored what I would argue are more important differences. I suspect we’re not going to agree on this, so probably okay to just leave it here.
