A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Looks fake based on the response format alone honestly…

Not to mention there are A LOT more slurs. There are pages and pages, it wouldn't be a list like this.

Would be a flag in the backend not a full list sent to the client.

You don’t get your slurs sent via your authentication provider’s “freezepeach-as-a-service” API? Sounds like your app is “woke” smh

Apparently "cotton" and "Mexican" are slurs

[–] Iapar@feddit.org 8 points 4 months ago

I could definitely see how cotton could be used in some pretty heinous ways, maybe not by definition slurrs, but still. Given the historical context of the United States In particular.
