I'm apparently super sheltered, never heard that usage. Would have assumed it's an abbreviation for youtube without context.

White people thinking that racial slurs work this way is hilarious, I mean I guess it makes sense if you also don't believe systemic oppression actually exists and racism is just defined only as overt racism, aka slurs. Yeah I guess I can understand why you would think this.

I think that using a pejorative term to dismiss or insult somebody based on their race is a racist thing to do. This has nothing to do with my belief in systemic oppression

not necessarily my view, but the imagined response in limerick form: but 'power dynamics!' we'll say! there's multiple forces at play! it may be a slur, be that as it were: historical contexts outweigh!

Can we please only have these kinds of discussions in limerick form?
