I hate that this response lead with "I agree". To me, the r word is repulsive. I hear what you're saying about "it didn't used to mean what it's come to mean". But folks use the same argument to fly the swastika and use the n word. I get where you're coming from. But word of advice: try taking arguments that you want to use to defend one thing and see what kinds of things you don't agree with you could use the same argument for. Legitimately a fun mental exercise and amazing way to pre-check your arguments.
