        both are slurs. One’s got far more heavy historical context of slavery and oppression, but both are words used to stigmatise and insult a certain group, and they have been reclaimed by various extents by said groups.

        And for the record you casually using the word “removed” is probably more insulting than me comparing two words that are used to oppress groups.
