Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals
FfaerieOxide@kbin.social 7 months agoIf the claim that illegal is sometimes derogatory is true then the the claim illegal is always derogatory or never derogatory is false.
No it isn't. Nothing about "sometimes" being true itself proves the corollary "always" is false.
Besides, you would think you could end this by giving the example to refuse to proffer of a non-derogatory use.

You’re going to have to provide examples where sometimes means always.
dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/…/sometimes
on some occasions but not always or often illegal can be derogatory.
There is no way you’ll be honest about the statement. You’ve all ready stated it’s a slur no matter how it’s used.

I'm not the one making the claim here, you are.

You keep claiming illegal is always derogatory even though the definition states otherwise.
FfaerieOxide@kbin.social 7 months ago
The definition does not indicate it can be not derogatory—which makes sense because it's derogatory.
You despite claiming sans evidence that it is possible to refer to a human being with a pejorative adjective and it be anything other than derogatory, won't even back up your claim with a single non-derogatory example of its use.
I get why you won't—'cause you can't—but if you were right you'd think You could give an example rather than litigating the implied corollaries to "sometimes".
