Talk:slant

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

"Slant" is not merely perjorative; if the definition is not contrary to policy or new policy, there should at the least be a stronger tag. Probably, the tag should indicate something more extreme than perjorative but also an indicator of relative disuse or disreputable. Even the Nazis allied with Japanese, the word is beyond even the level of antagonism embodied by all of that. Lots of Vietnam veterans married Asian women and would not agree with the routinization of entering the term as a mere "perjorative". Cf "fighting words".Geofferybard 22:45, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your definitions was loaded with problems; notably spelling 'pejorative' and 'western' wrong, also are you saying it doesn't apply to all people of Asian descent, but rather only Vietnamese combattants? I've never heard of this term, but perhaps {{very|pejorative}} or {{ethnic slur}}. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:10, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
