Racial slurs are the worst. Some ethnicities are objectively better than others and slurs regarding sexuality shouldn't be offensive given that everybody has a choice to like what they like. Race on the other hand, you can't choose race.


I don't know about you, but I can't choose to get a boner when I see a guy or a girl. Nor can I pick a new favorite color or start liking the taste of octopus on demand.

I was about to say that.  You can't really choose what ethnic group you are born into.  And same with sexual preference, I don't think people choose to be gay.



I think 'you fking muslim or nigger' are the only groups (here) that will try to kill you over it. So I wouldn't say them (pubicly).

I notice that it are mainly americans that bring this up. Is this really that of a big deal there?

Personally, I and like 85% of people I know couldn't care less to use those words or getting 'insulted' by words like that...



None are acceptable, but I think racial slurs are the worst, because clearly you have no control over skin colour.

And I know someone is going to say sexual preference isn't a choice either, but at least you can choose not to act in what I'll call the "stereotypically gay manner" (no offence is intended here, I promise). By that i mean talking with the lisp, dressing flamboyantly, walking like you have a stick up your arse, etc. Doing these things is what gets you called gay or "f****t" by the assholes who would choose to call someone that. If you're gay and don't want to be called these slurs then go ahead and wear fucking jeans and a tshirt, talk normally, and walk normally. But on the other hand any asshole could call a black guy the n-word whether he's in a suit & tie or dressed like a gangster. So that's my reasoning for why racial slurs are worse than homosexual slurs.

Ethnic slurs are bad too, religious and non-religious people should all just get along.

All the same in my book.
Neither can be chosen, and neither can be changed.
None of them are bad things, and should not be used as a judge of character

Being a bigot whether it pertains to race, ethnicity, sex, or sexual orientation is for all intents and purposes the same.

Personally, I think it would be nice to live in a world where none of the above even mattered to anyone, but we're human.



I think they're all bad.
