Serious question for serious times

And the parents get to stay here to raise the kid, right. So it's offensive because people don't like to hear the truth?

What is an anchor baby?
Never heard that one

the phrase is completely neutral and shorter than Children born to undocumented immigrants in the United States. In 2011 it was considered disparaging and it was deemed offensive so now no one can say it. This isn't the only thing that we can't say anymore. Fuck them and their doublespeak.

I love how that dude said "look it up in the dictionary" like it's always been offensive and it's common knowledge that's it's offensive and anyone who uses it is an asshole. That's manipulative. No, it's just recently been deemed offensive... a couple of years ago offensive was added to that definition in the dictionary after someone wrote an article about how "offensive" it was when before it was considered neutral. Doublespeak.

Oh, no I have no problem with swear words. I've said and say them all, except I've never said the N word. Ever. It's a disgusting word. Maybe it's because I'm a lady, but I can't say that word. I wasn't raised at all to curse anyway, I would get in huge trouble if I used an unlady like word like barf so I don't know how I got the mouth that I have lol but I cannot bring myself to say the N word it's so gross to say. My reaction to people using the word, what the word means vs my reaction to faggot and what that word means, I don't think they can and should be compared. The N word has meaning and weight to it. Faggot used as an insult holds the same weight as bitch, someone can choose to be offended by it or not. I'm not offended when a man uses feminine words as derogatory insults unless he's my man. The N word is offensive period, imo. Of course, I can't tell someone what they can and can't be offended by, that's not what I mean to do either. Fuck it, never mind.


I've said faggot (not hatefully but to be funny) and I think the word can be funny, around certain people and in the right circumstances. The outrage over the use of the use of the word is annoying. I don't know why that annoys me. No, it's not socially acceptable to say the word fgt if you're a celebrity or have a huge following online but every day people can't even be assholes on reddit anymore. The whole internet needs to chill out imo. I'm the most PC person I know, and I think the net is becoming too PC now.

They don't have ngrs where you live?

My deductive reasoning has me believing that your family probably owned someone else's family at one time....
