It does seem like neither of us is interested in continuing the argument, so sure, why not.
Also, slumdog is obviously a racial slur when used against Indian people. I am not sure whether it is a racial slur if used within India, it may be more classist or casteist or whatever.
Tangentially related, I read a great book about a Mumbai Slum and its inhabitants, called Behind the Beautiful Forevers, I'd suggest it to everyone.

Well if it is racist, then someone should not have named a movie after it.

While I have not seen the movie, I think it is somewhat the point, that this person of a low social and/or racial status is actually a pretty smart individual and wins millions or something.
I can understand misusing a slur, because of a misunderstanding, however after finding out that one has done so, one should definitely refrain from using it in the future.

Hence why I'm not using it anymore. It's funny though, Epidural is free to name call and trash openly without excuse, but he cries about when he gets called a name.
I don't see the racial meaning behind this...

I could care less if you decided to unabashedly accept a racist gimmick like quanchi112 has been doing over the past week, not when it doesn't change the fact that you are mind-numbingly stupid.👆

I do not believe "slumdog" is a racial slur, based on most of those definitions. It is a class slur that can and does apply to many races.

slumdog: something that's so horrifically overrated you cannot express just how underwhelmed with it you really are.
^If you consider this racist, call yourself stupid. 😆

Well, you are free to name-call and use racist slurs, if you so choose. I was just agreeing that "slumdog" is a racial slur.
I personally try to refrain from using slurs like that generally, I feel like it is a particular line I don't want to cross (or not cross anymore, I have changed my opinion on the subject over the last couple years)

Stupid doesn't even begin to describe you, Supra.

When you use it as a derogatory term to refer to a person of Indian origin, it becomes racist. You're too much of a simpleton to think that urbandictionary alone is reliable enough in this case, Supra.
I have no clue what race you are. I don't know you from Adam, quit taking things to be more then they are. Its like you calling me stupid. Do I go and cry about it for pages?

You do realize that term has nothing to do with either the movie Slumdog millionaire that you have brought up multiple times in this thread, nor the obviously derogatory manner in which you use it to refer to an Indian dude(namely yours truly).Stupid doesn't even begin to describe you, Supra.
Oh you mad 😆
Look up the word and quit crying.

This too is from urbandictionary.

The term slumdog millionaire, based on which he's using this insult, is defined a number of times as being used in a derogatory manner against Indians in particular:

Are you and Indian child now bro? Quit trying to create sympathy through lies and manipulation.
Cry more.

I know the word better than you do, considering the number of times it's been used in a derogatory fashion to insult Indians in general.Considering you're initiated the derailing of multiple threads while stalking me; I'd say yes. That and the magnitude of your butthurt enable me to give an answer in the affirmative.
Cry more, you were proven wrong by me and other, when you are proven you wrong get mad and start screaming like a little girl😆 😆 😆
