I dont think there is a slur for white people that would make me upset. Id laugh at the ignorance if I was called one, but nothing directly about my race would bother me personally. Its a slur for sure since youd easily argue anyone using that toward someone has that intention.

I'm not offended by slurs intended for white people as much as it makes me cringe. I guess my reaction would lie somewhere between feeling secondhand embarrassment for the person saying it, and a little humor in the fact that they'd think it would offend me.

Oh.. it's a slur alright, but

One of the perks of identifying as a colonizer is that the most offense you can ever take, slur-wise, is at being called a colonizer or other various C-words.

Meh. All it expresses to me is that the person has an inmate prejudice towards me and I don't fuck with them.

I'm concerned with dissolving the systems that perpetuate racism, but I don't feel responsible for my ancestors any more than I am responsible for my father. Especially when it's in regards to a human condition that nearly every race of man has participated in.

They weren't looking for a better life, they were taking life from others in order to perpetuate their own shitty culture and values. They also do continue to do that to this day.

Their ancestors are still alive?

I'm not wrong. It's literally socially acceptable to be racist towards white people these days.

But it's not systemic, there is not power imbalances that comes due to it, hasn't led to an increase in police brutality etc. so people just let it happen.

The problem you run into there is that people will state that without those negative consequences it isnt racism.

As usual, the conflict arises from a lack of agreement in definitions of terms.

If you think about it colonizing places would not even be bad at all if the people had successfully found places to colonize that weren't already inhabited and went there instead of moving in and taking over.

If you mean there weren't any places to explore that hadn't been found yet, maybe. Guess it was time to stop then.

also, yea sure it's a slur.

"a derogatory or insulting term applied to particular group of people."

it's also accurate under plenty of contexts.

the question isn't "is it a slur"

the question is "so what?"

who's offended? colonizers? fuck those guys.

also this isnt true. we fucked the neanderthals. we are all literally descended from neanderthals (and probably these other species too) unless you are a pygmy aborigine or some crazy shit.
