admittedly retard isn't an incredibly relevant or polite term for learning disabilities anymore, but i think, especially when compared to other examples given like idiot, it's a lot more relevant as far as the "don't use this word because it's offensive to disabled people" argument goes, and as much as i dislike sjw, i'd prefer to see them pointing that out instead of seeing them saying stuff like "DON'T SAY STUPID BC UR BEING OFFENSIVE TO PEOPLE W/ DISABILITIES."

maybe it's a matter of location. where i am, at least, retard wasn't really in use as slang until recently. it's actually only in the past few years that i've heard people in real life use it as a synonym for stupid.

i know the word in itself isn't indicative of prejudice - i'm friends with people who use it as a part of their everyday vocabulary, and i know they're not in anyway ableist. knowing that still doesn't make me any more comfortable with it being used so casually, tho.

Ah, probably the "where we live" thing - pretty much anyone in or below their mid-to-late 20's in our area grew up with it meaning "stupid" before "mental disability" - and that includes quite a few of our teachers, which kind of made things weirder.
