Original Note:
Many words considered hate speech have innocuous semantic meanings. The N****R word, literally meant “ignorant”, the homophobic slur F*G is the British slang for “cigarette” or “a bundle of sticks”. Its not semantics that make a word a slur, it’s the derogatory way it’s used. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hate-speech/
