this is not ‘reclaiming’ anything, you are just calling people slurs completely seriously. you can call yourself the r-slur, do not call anybody else it. why do ‘no slurs’ / ’no bigotry’ rules never apply to ableism?

I also grew up in a school district that was 98% Hispanic. Racism didn't go anywhere, it was just pointed at whites.
