The word “retard” or “retarded” bothers me more than any other offensive word. The way people throw the word around loosely without thinking there might me be someone who actually has a mental disability in the room, really irritates me. People with mental disabilities such as down syndrome don’t always know if something is appropriate to say or not, and people shouldn’t make fun of them for not knowing. No one deserves to live with something like down syndrome, and that’s why this word bothers me the most.
