Some younger people tell me that using the word "retarded" as an insult to abled folk, is more than okay. They tell me it's a form of endearment. And that by objecting, I'm giving the word power it doesn't merit.

"We never use it for people with disabilities," they say, as if that makes it harmless for all.

Watch the video, and tell me: what good can come from normalising the use of disability-related words as insults?
