| sethnintendo said: Slant is considered racial slur? You would think it would need at least slanted eyes or something. Even then it is just pointing out that Asians have slanted eyes which could be used as a stupid racist argument but I don't see common body features of races as racist. Is it racist to point out that most blacks have huge flat noses that look like dino feet? What's next? Soon it will be racist to state that Asian female drivers are the worst drivers. |
Yeah, it's a slur. Of course there's nothing racist about acknowledging a phenotypical aspect, but calling East Asians "slants" is pretty dehumanizing because it reduces them to that one feature of their body. It's like calling blacks "darkies." (Or like calling them "blacks," come to think of it... hmmm!)
