    If you pop into that users history, you’ll see that the interacting they’re talking about is whining at me for a couple of days because I called them a racist.

      Not really. You just use the word ‘racist’ as a general insult to people who disagree with you. I don’t really take it as an offense since it means nothing in that context, but using the word ‘racist’ ignoring its actual meaning is problematic.

          Because mongrel is not a racial slur. You made it a racial slur. I could argue that the word Bastard is a racial slur by the same logic. And given enough time and effort, you would believe it if all you see is race.

              All you need to know is that it was not used with a racist intent. The word itself was not even used in a context where it could be interpreted as racist. I mean, can you even answer which group of people the word was racist against based on your interpretation?
