slurs

Slurs are words or expressions that are intentionally directed at a group of people, often based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or other identities, and are perceived as hostile, disrespectful, or degrading. They can reinforce stereotypes, promote discrimination, and cause emotional harm. Using slurs contributes to social inequality and oppression. Recognizing their impact is essential for respectful communication and fostering inclusive environments. While some may argue about context or intent, the harmful history and implications of slurs generally make their usage offensive and inappropriate.
