Okay? That doesn't mean we should stop calling them racist just because it's an insult or have a negative connotation, it should. Just like we shouldn't stop calling Zionists… Zionists, it's "insulting" because… it is a bad thing. The word being "overused" (which… I frankly find untrue) has no relevance.

Absolutely. Part of what lead to this ban though (which is insignificant in the grand scheme of things) is the fact that it's overused as it gets thrown out waaaay too easily. Even Gaga was called one bc she was hanging out with someone who did sth or whatever, I'm not sure. Even a vague statement like "I pray for the inoccent ppl from both sides" IS labeled as zionism. You can't compare situations like that with what actual zionism is.

But if anybody ever attempts to have other slurs (I'm not interested in debating what are slurs and what aren't here, it's beside the point) banned it would be violation of freedom of speech
