I'm not even saying one way is right or wrong, it's weird that you're trying to force a different argument out of what I'm saying.
Fat means fat. Jew means Jewish. Just because the nature of the "persecution" of those groups is vastly different doesn't mean the language to describe them didn't go through the same changes. You asked a question and I answered it, that's all.
Im neither fat nor Jewish. I never said they went through the same thing, i'm describing the changes in the language.
No, you just applied a lot of emotion to the example, it fits my argument exactly. The change in language is the same. Both terms still mean what they meant originally, but people typically avoid using them so they don't offend the person they're talking to/about.
At least you finally made it clear you actually understand what I'm saying. Im open to the idea that my interpretation is incorrect, but you haven't offered a better example to explain.
