Is the word retard seen as bad as the word nigger? Are there other words in english that are as bad or almost as bad as these words?
N o way these are even comparable - the former started out benign, it was common to say that someone was mentally retarded until it started to be used in an insulting tone. The latter has only ever had one popular use, as a derogatory term for black people, to me it's more insulting to compare these two words than it is to use the n-word TBH
