I never said it's okay. I just said that something like Becky or Pocahontas is not a racial slur because it's aimed at an individual and not a group.

Just because I'm saying that it's dishonest to call Pocahontas a slur (implying racial slur) doesn't mean I think it's okay to use those kinds of words against people.
