How is this exchange imaginary? It's right above, five comments up:

>> Do you think the social stigma attached to the n-word, and the consequential reduction in its public use, helped contribute to equal rights?

>Not particularly

>> What about slurs against gays, or Jews?

>Not particularly

How else should someone interpret your response, other than as stating that you don't see any connection between ethnic slurs and equal rights? If you misspoke, or I'm somehow misinterpreting, maybe you should elaborate, if only for the sake of others coming across this thread.
