Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals
FfaerieOxide@kbin.social 5 months agoThe definition clearly says sometimes which means you have to use context to determine if it is used as a slur.
I asked you how it could not be and you have yet to offer an explination.
Illegal is a noun too
No it isn't.

When referring to people who entered or reside illegally in the country.
Merriam Webster’s, Cambridge, Collin’s, Oxford, dictionaries all defines it as a noun. I’ll take their word over yours.

...you should probably refer to people, huh?

People is not discriptive enough, citizens, permanent residents, migrants, and illegals all fall into the people category. Illegal is used to convey the immigration status of a person.
Good for you finally letting go of the notion that illegal is only an adjective.

as a non-slur which you still have not explained how it can be.
