It’s kind of offensive to say, since “retarded” people can’t just remove their disabilities from them, and they may find it frustrating.
“Why can’t I just be normal? What is wrong with me?”
But to me, it’s just a word, and being offended by it gives power to whoever says it.
Personally, I don’t say it, but I couldn’t care less about the people who do.
Say it or don’t say it, it’s up to you.
Is it really that bad to say retarded?
