In a way, it's more equitable if everyone has a slur.

I asked an Australian once why everyone was a C word and he said it was easier than remembering names.

Reminds me of that W.C. Fields quote — 'I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally. '

I think there's a certain value to that. Sort of a modern take on memento mori, but for everyone.

> You have n-words
That you have to blank that out and none of the others, should tell you everything you need to know about how equal or "endearing" this is.
Bongs, Leafs, Burgers... This is all white supremacy no matter how someone tries to reframe it.

Still proves my point. You don’t have to censor that.
To their credit, they don't exactly censor anything. The entire voldemorting of the word is one of the more inane things about PC culture. That PC culture cares primarily about black targeted insults doesn't really say much about the inherent "badness" of the word.
Always fascinating how they refer to themselves.
You have n-words.
Then potato n-words for the irish (and lithuatians)
Pasta n-words for italians
Bongs for the british
Leafs for canadians
Burgers and Amerimutts
Toothpaste for the netherlands
Gypsy for hungarians and romanians (who are at a perpetual shitposting war against each other)
Hohols for the ukranians
Finngolians
The usual suspects for anyone of any asian country, extra special hate towards the chinese and Xi's internet army.
and on and on
No matter what nation of the world you are from, they will find an insult for you. It's endearing in a way really.
Oh and also there's someone shitposting from a research facility in Antarctica.
