    Gradually?? I don’t think the r word has been directly related to mental disability the entire time I’ve been alive, and I’m not exactly young… You’re just choosing to take offense, which is white-knighting for the disabled when they’re not even being insulted… Kinda’ … extremely lame of you…

    Oh wait, being lame used to be a health disorder! Guess I’m offending you again…

      It’s not my words, the source is from 2013. It’s not about me being offended, it’s literally the social security administration explaining why it stopped using the word “retarded”… 12 years ago. Because it was and remains offensive.

      But sure, this is the type of culture America needs more of.
