    unless youre talking about fire retardants, the timing of engines, or other situations where a thing is being actively retarded, dont use the r slur. Applied to people, it is a slur.

      You don’t call retarded people retards. You call your friends retards when they’re being retarded.

        Leta just swap out that word with another slur and reiterate your statement:

        “You dont call black people n word, you call white friends the n word when theyre being the n word.”

          Right, remember the hundreds of years of slavery and racial oppression that developmentally disabled people endured in this country that lead to the word retarded…no?.. Me neither.

          Comparing retarded to the N word is actually fucking retarded.
