I get your argument, but I think it's also really ignorant to think that both slurs hold the same weight. Their histories are very different

Well you said that saying one slur is worse than another is diminishing one's experience, but I think equating the two is actually diminishing one's experience. Both are obviously wrong, but the n slur has a deeper and darker history rooted in slavery. The c slur is a derogatory term about East Asian facial features
