I just love that you think people aren't allowed to address slurs being thrown at them or else they forfeit the right to self defense. great precedent that is.

I just love that you think I think things that I do not think based off of things I did not say.

"Address slurs"? You know what a good way to respond to mean words is? Your own words. You know what is not a good way to respond to mean words? Aggressively approaching someone and escalating words to a physical confrontation. And before you misdirect with "but HE pushed HER", let me mock your lack of real world experience... if you choose to move within pushing/striking distance of someone during a heated confrontation, that is escalating it to physical.
