unless youre talking about fire retardants, the timing of engines, or other situations where a thing is being actively retarded, dont use the r slur. Applied to people, it is a slur.
edit; y’all wanna down vote and support the usage of a slur, even when presented with reputable source evidence explaining why it is a slur. grow tf up.
Right, remember the hundreds of years of slavery and racial oppression that developmentally disabled people endured in this country that lead to the word retarded…no?.. Me neither.
Comparing retarded to the N word is actually fucking retarded.
BTW. When the DSM-5 talks about “a strong sense of justice” this is what it talking about. It’s not the sense of right and wrong that’s diagnosing, it’s missing the obvious fact that this joke came after what was probably 10-30 minutes of the comedian assessing how many people in the room were ADHD like him, then building up context that would allow the joke to land without hurting anyone’s feelings.

He was clearly roleplaying as the crass ignorant people who might think of justice as such
I understand that. His joke could have been made without it.
You don’t call retarded people retards. You call your friends retards when they’re being retarded.
Leta just swap out that word with another slur and reiterate your statement:
“You dont call black people n word, you call white friends the n word when theyre being the n word.”
