minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-18•3 months agoThe slur was savages Pretty mild and not worth the headline compared to the rest of the comment
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink15•3 months agoNah, in this “modern” time using the term savages is a way to dehumanized them, and push a view point that the white man helped them…when clearly that is not the case.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•edit-23 months agoDid you read the rest of the comments? She was straight up dehumanizing, the term doesn’t matter if they are straight up saying everything it represents
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•3 months agoI read it, but that term alone is enough, even without doubling down. She is just garbage
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•edit-23 months agoMy view is she could replace it with whatever preferred term and it wouldn’t be any less offensive so it’s worse than just saying a slur
