Imo, a slur ain't offensive if it ain't used as like a super derogatory thing, like calling someone it as a switched up 'hey bro" should be aight for most people
In fact if racism didn't exist, slurs wouldn't exist
im the kind of person that could call someone ***** instead of bro and not in the bad way honestly and just pisses me off ( ik ik im white which makes it funnier )
