Just accept slurs and offensive names?

No thanks.
It only matters if you let it.

Going through life on the constant lookout for an excuse to take a comment as offensive, and believing that somehow you are denigrated and "dehumanized' (!) only shows a chronic sense of insecurity or a deep-seated sense of guilt.

Or both.

In other words, get over it.
