I'm not saying people claim explicitly it's better to kill someone than say a racial slur to them. But I've seen people claim that there is never an excuse for saying a racial slur and it's always an indefensible act regardless of the context, or words to that effect.
Ok, sorry about that, let's define "never" from "never" to "never within the context of things that happen in real life."
Does that solve the problem? Because in my experience that's typically what people mean when they say "never" lol. "I'd never hit my dog!" "Well WHAT IF I pointed a gun at your dog and said 'if you don't hit your dog, I'll kill it!'" Great, you got me, my entire argument has collapsed, all that I stand for is clearly absurd.
