Why does LRC allow swearing?

Even if the term wiggers is not slang for the N word, the whole post mocks black dialect. It is very offensive and makes fun of a race. It is patently racist and should not be allowed,

If they were making fun of your nationality, you would be very upset, I am sure,.

I think you are greatly confused.

Imitation is a form of flattery.

Accepting the culture of other ethnicities is a positive thing and the world needs more of this inter-cultural understanding. It’s kind of the opposite of racism.

From Wikipedia definition of Wigger:

" Another dictionary defines the term as "offensive slang" referring to a "...white person, usually a teenager or young adult, who adopts the fashions, the tastes, and often the mannerisms considered typical of urban black youth."[3]

The term is generally considered derogatory, reflecting stereotypes of African-American, black British, and white culture (when used as a synonym of white trash). The wannabe connotation may be used pejoratively, implying a failed attempt at cultural appropriation by a white person. It is also sometimes used in a racist manner by some non-black persons, not only belittling the person perceived as "acting black", but also demeaning black people and culture, by proxy."

This is a derogatory, insulting, offensive usage and shouldn't be allowed.

If this your attempt at humor, it failed.

But at least you admit it is imitating a minority.

Sometimes.

I repost:

“The term of art wigger "...is used both proudly and derisively”

The poster is not using “wigger” derisively in this context. Perhaps the poster’s father did. Maybe LRC should censor the father of that poster.

The poster, and the post, did not and does not violate any of the Terms and Conditions.

I didn’t say “minority” or make it about “race”. I said it is about adopting and accepting other cultures that is not your own.

It is a positive thing to adopt other cultures. It is flattery, not mockery.

Are you a mod or just as clueless as one?

Because you really sound like the trash who would allow this stuff to fester.

The site contains this language and even if it is quoting someone, a reader may find it very offensive, It clearly is racist and demeaning and insulting,.

If you don't think so, I sure do,

I wonder how the site's sponsors will feel about it. Along with the other objectionable content.

NY Times, Logitech, Bayer, the list goes on.
