Slurs and a Learning Lesson
I was notified of a comment thread with which I brought up slurs and how carelessly they are used in our modern world. I even wrote those words without any censors. It was not my intention to trivialise slurs as I thought I was only explaining it in a informative context. I have been taught at school with teachers pronouncing the words when I was much younger so I thought that it would be alright if it was brought up in an educational and informative context.
I apologized later on in the thread that I shouldn't have done that because I realised that it wasn't necessary that I did that and that I am not even an academic. It shouldn't excused what happened and even if some of the words listed were normal words used for insult or trivial conversation(I shouldn't be using that if I am not part of their community).
While I do believe that attacking and cancelling lecturers and institutions for using the fully spelled word is a bit overboard, I do understand how much pain and how much hurtful it could be to the ostracised community as I to come from a community which is discrimated against.
I try to understand current issues and is still trying to learn more of social issues which is not my own so I wouldn't offend anyone because I know how painful it could be.
I apologise to those users even if you have not read it or see what I wrote it. Some of you might not care but I found it a valuable learning lesson. I feel it would be the best to apologize and let this out and have a fruitful discussion here since my heart felt so heavy after I was reminded of that comment thread.
Have a nice day.
im not aware of this comment/topic thread but its alright bc youve apologized and learned from it. unlike others who have alrd been educated how it is harmful but still continues using such terms

Thank you to those who read this apology. I can not stand being an ally of those communities and writing up slurs like that no matter what context. If I could delete and edit and erase that comment from existence, I would have done so. I do not want any one from those communities feel like their struggles is trivialised and ignored seeing people da......
