there’s a difference here. it’s pretty well understood that it’s a slur.
It’s also pretty well understood that fruit is a slur, when it’s used in that context. This is actually a fantastic example, because there is so little difference between the terms. Both are extremely harmless words with normal meanings commonly used in everyday conversation, with extremely antiquated and niche uses as slurs which some nerds here are for some reason bringing up and dwelling on when the terms are used in a context in which they are obviously not slurs.
the term isn’t reappropriatable, and there’s no real reason to not just come up with a different way to refer to the cia. we can come up with something else. the only reasonable manner the term is used in a normal meaning would be like “this guy spooked me” as if you got frightened.
Now that I think about it, “red” could be a slur for indigenous people so I’m pretty sure I should be tossed in the gulag for saying “red fruit”
