Someone today called me "the bluntest edgelord to ever exist" and I dropped my phone and cried because of it. And then somehow knew that I was white when they called me mayo-ass. No idea how they knew.

    If you need a consultation, I grew up in Boston, so I know all the forgotten and niche ethnic slurs.

        My favourite is borrowed from Star Trek: Enterprise, "pinkskin". It's an Andorian slur for "human".

            Absolutely. Jeffrey Combs is a fantastic actor. I will watch anything he's in.

            Though I think Trip was a close second. I loved how he was an open-minded peaceful explorer at heart. He just wanted to see the wonders of the universe. That really spoke to me.

            Such a shame about the show's progress. I feel like in season 4 it was finally starting to be the show it should have always been. The birth of the alliance that would become the Federation, the rebirth of Vulcan, all that was great.

      I pronounced it as slur-ggestion to all my family, friends, and coworkers to whom I was bragging to. It's going to destroy my social standing to explain to them that I didn't get my slur.

    The best slurs are ones that no one understands, but they know you meant it as a slur, and they are mad you would pull this shit at someone.

    The most effective slurs are ones that only the victims and their aggressors recognize, where normal people don’t even notice unless they are in the two groups. And that it hurts the target.
