There is no such thing as an unbiased perspective on this sort of thing, even if those who benefit from the discrimination (and are untouched by it) think their perspective is somehow more objective. What is valuable is the perspectives of those who endure it.

While there is a major distinction between slurs and mere curse words, we do generally have a policy here of covering all ills in a DWU story encyclopaedically. We're really left to deal with whatever a story gives us. Given that we do have these pages, some written by editors who do not belong to those communities, the question is maybe: how do we move or convert or properly tag this information so it's at least 1) well within context and 2) sufficiently warned about? We also want to pay close attention to the language used, how it's contextualised and how it's introduced, to make sure the documentation of such behaviour cannot read as valorising.
