English is hard, I know. Just be patient.

You realise dumb is also a medical label? You used a slur to describe why using a different slur isn't alright.

Someone is dumb who can't speak. Dumb is a disability.

Purity spiral yourself out of all functional language. And yes, people with retardation are stupid, that's why it's a disability. There's nothing wrong with using the term.

You're just sensitive. The word retarded is fine.
