That is certainly different. Trump’s not black. In contrast, “queer,” pink triangle, and other reclaimed homophobic slurs are encouraged for general use. Try another slur instead as a counterargument please.
As an illustration of what I mean – IMO it’d be much worse if he said “no fags” or something like that.
I’m not going to sit here and type out slurs. The long and the short of it is that just because something has been reclaimed, doesn’t mean it is always benign. Context is king.
Well yeah, this is obviously not benign. I don’t want him saying “no queer people” even dressed up in the most polite language.
Edit: I would honestly be happier if he said it in the most abrasive, nazi, slur-riddled way possible and tore the mask off. Incrementalism is what he hides behind.
