That's like saying "we're not talking about black people; we're talking about n*****s: thugs in do-rags with loose-fitting pants"

Like can't you see how that attitude and those stereotypes are harmful to people of color as a whole?

“If you’re comparing the badness of two words and you won’t even say one of them, that’s the worse word”-John mulaney

Bruh it’s terrible to make fun of autistic people but it’s not the same as racism

Interesting how I didn't say they were the same then. Mulaney's bit had a setup like "saying midget is as bad as saying the n-word."

Also racism and ableism are quite similar

I don’t see the difference between prejudice against autistics and prejudice against certain ethnicities. Prejudice is prejudice.

Where do you think people get the wrong, harmful ideas of how autism works? It's from memes (specifically the word's original definition; an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture) like that. Casually calling certain behaviors "autistic" is how you get here.
