Is it? I dunno, honestly. Obviously it's dehumanizing, but is it actually racist? I don't think this counts as a racial slur, it doesn't have the history, but I also don't know enough orc lore to argue. Seems more like a nerdy version of calling people barbarians...
Either way as a Russian I've waited long enough for us to get our own n-word analogue that only we get to say.
The tweet .
No, because it has never been used in conjunction with a call to murder them, or repeated oppression of them socially or economically.
:I-was-saying:
Sorry to get real on the internet for a second, but do you genuinely want concentration camps set up for the English? A book burning of their literature? To check the papers of anyone who looks Anglo? Men, women, and children slaughtered by the millions? I really, really don't think you do. Even if you did, do you have the ability to enact that, or are you looking to? Is there a history of people who want that? That's why English ghoul isn't a slur.
Apologies, it was a joke. I agree with you.
Sorry if I went on the offensive there, I have gotten a bit tired of people saying "no I'm actually for genocide" on this site in the middle of a serious discussion.
