Never. It never becomes OK to racially abuse someone because they are too intimidated to stand up to you.
He doesn’t seem “too intimidated to stand up” for himself now. What changed?
And, how do YOU know that a word is intimidating? Who decides? If it’s the victim, then how does the rest of the world discover the egregious actions?
When did “P*ki” turn from a contraction to discrimination and “intimidating racism”?
When I grew up in Manchester, the term was ubiquitous. Time & place, which creates context for the obviously changing scale.
What you've described is literally the definition of victim blaming.
Then we have a problem, because I didn’t blame anyone, I was merely highlighting a problem with the identification of what is, isn’t, was, wasn’t, and how do we fix what most of us don’t see and hear?
If a woman is raped, whether she reports it or not, she was raped. All I’m saying is that if she doesn’t report it, how does society address the egregious action against her. If she waits a long time, that makes it harder for societal redress.
At no time would I dare suggest it was her fault she was raped!!
You need a new dictionary!
