The N word is a great example of an insult for insult sake. If anything comparing ”pedo guy“ to the N word helps Elon’s case by implying it was just a generic insult.
Obviously they're a bad comparison.
Rather, the reason I’m avoiding the N word is that it targets an innocent group who are essentially my equals and who are only poor because Western Europe happened to go through the industrial revolution first (someone has to be first) and thus conquered around a third of the planet between them.
