Autistic people aren’t retarded, constantly linking the two together kind of bothers me. I know the intentions are well-meaning, but I can’t get over that.
I don’t think he’s trying to link the two. I just think he’s trying to go against the linking of those two by other people.
Indeed, but most times it’s used here, they aren’t linking the two.
So if I use the n-word, not intending to link it to slavery, it’s fine?
That’s ridiculous. The two words are completely different.
