I don't know what the language police would do. I'm just asking what it makes you, if you use the language of bigots unironically.

- teddyh 5y agoWe all use the language of bigots; viz. English.
- spacemanmatt 4y agoThere isn't any non-bigoted English, eh? That's not the kind of argument that inspires me to continue honestly.
- teddyh 4y agoYou almost got it. The point is that is no bigoted language, only bigoted people and bigoted intentions. Mere use of words and languages can not, by itself, be bigoted. You can reasonably infer intention and a person’s character by their word choices, but you can’t call a normal person using a word a bigot merely for using a word which also bigots use.
