All racial epithets should be equal

Initial checklist

• I read the support docs
• I read the contributing guide
• I agree to follow the code of conduct
• I searched issues and couldn’t find anything (or linked relevant results below)

Problem

No one person can belong to all racial groups.

This means that no one person can objectively determine how offensive a word is.

Tier ranking how offensive one racial epithet over another seems like a slippery slope to the type of problem this project purports to be trying to solve

Solution

All racial epithets should be in this package. They're an equality issue, not a profanity issue. They should all be considered at the same level and as one evil.

Alternatives

Write supporting documentation which details the thought process behind the tier ranking of each racial epithet. I suspect this won't be pretty.

This issue is vague and not actionable, hence it can't be solved. Consider defining what these so called missing racial epithets are, and proposing that specifically.

I did, that issue was closed as well.

Can you please be consistent?

Slurs go in a different project: retext-profanities. That project’s ranking is not related to how profane those words are.
