I guess I could rephrase the question to: Which slur, if made public, would cause more backlash from society/media. |
I would think racial would cause more backlash.
However, I would feel least comfortable being caught making a homophobic one.
Honestly, I jokingly use slurs. I have used most of the racial ones, a few ethnic ones, and I use the homo ones towards gay people as a joke (considering he does it himself). The only time someone got upset was when I didn't even direct the comment at a person and just made a pun. I simply used the word "white trash" to describe a white paper bag filled with various junk someone left behind and the guy (who was white) was all pissed off and saying how he isn't offended, but someone else might be. Which is weird, because I've made other "racial" comments around this guy and he said nothing.
