I remember when I thought I sounded "way to sensitive" and "politically correct" for telling other people in my country not to use the word "disabled" as an insult.
But well... when I see someone use that ableist R-word as an insult on the internet, like on forums and stuff, I admit that I don't say anything because I don't want to start an argument or anything like that.
Even though I really dislike it when they use that word, especially as an insult.
And whenever I tell people why they shouldn't say stuff like that, I'm tell them "because I have a disabled brother."
But actually I'm disabled too, but I had often been told by my mother not to tell people about my disability.
And saying "I find this offensive because I have a disabled brother" sounds a bit... do you know what I'm trying to say?
Well... whenever one of my family members uses the N-word, I tell them not too, but they are like "Does everything have to be politically correct?" and "It was okay to use that word back in my days."
