Did you just call me "you"? Well I consider that a slur because I go by Wayners. See how ridiculous your argument is? Next your are going to say it isn't just the word but who says it.

A name or term is a slur if the person or persons being labeled consider it is a slur. Actually its more like - "Its a slur if the people using it intend it as a slur", or arguably but reasonably that plus "its a slur if it was traditionally used as a slur and still is recognized as one".
