Comment | The words are not acceptable to you, much like some people find the terms Hun & Fenian offensive but many do not. These are commonly used terms which have entered the popular vernacular.
Comparing the N word which has horrendous connotations when used by a non black person to a word like Alki or Junkie is ridiculous and you know it. Racism is entirely different as I noted previously, protected classes.
We, as a city, have a huge problem with drug users which reinforces the use of the word junkie given the behaviour witnessed and stories told of the ones who congregate near Central, especially post Covid. |
