  So are you saying that a slur (for Black people, for example) is linguistically “correct by definition” ? And it actually describes members of the demographic?

    A slur is still a word.
    I know youre trying to trap me in some stupid gotcha, but idk what you think that’d prove.

    What would you consider “linguistically correct” if not “follows grammar rules and conveys the intended meaning”?

    If I say something absolutely heinous about your mother, does it stop being valid English just because it is morally reprehensible and fallacious? Of course not.
