There being a large segment of the public against the use of the r-slur is so old that Black Eyed Peas re-released a song without it over 20 years ago. Blaming petty shit like this on Trump winning isn't just inaccurate, it's blaming the people who are going to be harmed most by his presidency for bringing it about.

If you think semantics are so unimportant, then don't die on the hill of saying slurs.
