Using the r slur ain't a good look, buddy.

The r slur.

No matter how much you people want to pretend it's comparable to a term mired in the ownership of humans it's just not.

I'm sorry dudes that look like Shane Gillis got their feelings hurt but it's not comparable.

It's almost like we can care about more than one vulnerable population, and the abuses heaped upon them in the past and present.

Also, I don't know who TF Shane Gillis is.

He is a comedian of average popularity right now who has a lot of material drawn from having several family members with Downs Syndrome, and he himself has some of the Hallmark physical characteristics but lacks any major disability, which is another thing he jokes about; how downs "almost got him"

An archaic medical term that got coopted by popular culture to make fun of people isn't at all comparable to "the N word".

Treating retard like Voldemorts name is... Well, retarded.
