Not with a hard R they don't.

If you ban one you also ban the other. The -a is a respelling of -er, basically the same word.

... no. Also, white people are not victims of institutional racism. Cracker is, at worst, a mild insult.

[-] TeabagRd@discuss.online 2 points 2 months ago

Where is there anything to do with white ? I was talking about why n-a/er isn't banned and how saying -er should be banned while keeping the -a variant doesn't make sense. I am for freespeech to me nothing should be banned like that, i am by no means advocating for the cracker one.

Just admit you’re not American and have never stepped foot in America. Everyone - even the racists! - knows the difference.

[-] TeabagRd@discuss.online 1 points 2 months ago

Where did you get the idea that i was american ? Etymologically, the -a variant is a respelling of the -er which i believe is the original. This respelling is due to the "ghetto" spelling like gangaster->gangsta, same thing different pronunciation.

Oh yeah is that a rule you just invented?

[-] TeabagRd@discuss.online 1 points 2 months ago

It's a respelling banning one without banning the other doesn't make sense...

[-] prole 8 points 2 months ago

It only makes no sense if you completely remove any cultural context.

We don't exist in a vacuum.
