I get that, but it's still hipocrisy (and language policing). I have seen people still use the r-slur and autism as insults. I'm for freedom of speech, and as I stated in my post, I do believe words can lose their power. Just as ones with ableist origins, and "change" their meaning to mean something else.

It's like the n-word (note: I'm afro), some people see it as "buddy" meaning now. I would not accuse someone who wasn't black of being racist if they choose to say it. I'm not into language policing, and frankly, I believe it is racist to control the language of other races. Especially when there is some in my group who would have no issue calling someone white or passing as white a "cracker," or "honky" but would throw a tantrum if the other used the n word.

I believe that all can be said, or none can be said. This can involve every single one (those with baggage) or more "tame" ones that have "changed meaning."
