Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals
FfaerieOxide@kbin.social 5 months agoWhat claim is unsubstantiated?
That there can be a non-derogatory utilization of the adjective illegal to refer to a person with as though the word were a countable noun.
All that has been done is to post a dictionary entry which agrees that when it is used as a noun it is a slur—behavior I would not expect from one who has endeavored excellence toward their fellows.

You are really having a tough time with the word sometimes. When illegal is used as a noun sometimes it is derogatory + offensive.
Do you know what sometimes means?

You have yet to describe the times it is not.

If there “were no times it is not”, the definition would not use the word sometimes .

If I said, "The sun sometimes rises in the east." that is a true statement, but not evidence that it ever does otherwise and if I wanted to claim "...and sometimes it rises in the west." I would still need to provide evidence other than stressing the "sometimes" in my first statement.
How can calling a person (and not actions) "illegal" be anything but derogatory?
Explain your west-rising sun, please.
