This speaks to why I don't like racial or ethnic slurs: Not only are they vulgar and counterproductive, but they help set stages for greater injustices and violence against a people. Libs, Lefties, and other AntiWhites who use [ugh] -magats- about Trump supporters yet complained about dehumanizing language from him against his political opponents = a special brand of partisan-retarded.
There are ways to lay the smack down 100% against sociopolitical opposition and phenomena without resorting to dehumanization. I confess that I can drop my vernacular hammer hard against whom and what I don't like--but calling people: insects, [White] trash, or animals--goes too far. Plus, animals such as cats and dogs often outperform the human species spectacularly. 😅
