It bothers me so much how people imagine that if you use the phrase against a "different" group, that it's somehow supposed to be ok.
- That the idea of being black, itself, is an insult - That appending a prefix to it, somehow makes the person less of a bigot, or that they're somehow rationalized in using genocidal language, that they were looking for an excuse to do so. - That somehow, we're supposed to overlook the fact of how quick people jumped to that language, that anyone could be the target next.
