Why telling someone to stop speaking nazi is not discriminatory

[Academy]

He was German, he took offence, End of

It does not matter if he took offence.  The term nazi is nondiscriminatory. It doesn't matter if he considers it discriminatory, the term itself and my use of it was not and could not be discriminatory against him in any way. There's nothing discriminatory about calling someone a nazi. Furthermore, there's nothing discriminatory about telling someone to stop saying something. Would you tell a rock to stop being a rock? Finally, it doesn't matter if he took offence. The only thing that matters is if you were discriminating. If you were discriminating, then it's only because he was discriminating against you first. In fact, by taking offence, he was committing an act of discrimination against you. To be more specific, he was engaging in demeanour redolent of that perpetuated by the political left: By taking offence, he was attempting to engage in coercion and exact a change in your words or silence through shame and ostracization.

Is this what we have become? Do we now live in an era where the social justice left can censor someone? Where people are not allowed to speak their mind? Do we live in an era where people, as long as they're part of a politically favored group, can abuse others with slurs and slander and not be held accountable for it?

Finally, if you believe that telling someone to "stop" is discriminatory, then all words are inherently discriminatory. This includes: hello, goodbye, hello there, goodbye there, thank you, you're welcome, nice to meet you, I love you and a slew of other terms. In fact, language as a whole is discriminatory! Do you see how ridiculous your line of thinking is?

The term nazi doesn't refer to a German, it refers to a National Socialist. It doesn't even refer to all Germans; in fact it only refers to an incredibly small percentage of Germans, and an even smaller percentage of people in general. And while there may have been some German casualties in the events of World War II, the word nazi does not refer to all German people; it was not used as an ethnic slur against all German people. It would be the equivalent of referring to a British soldier of the War of 1812 as a Yankee, or referring to a communist as a Bolshevik. Or, if you're referring to a specific individual, it would be the equivalent of calling Hitler himself being referred to as a German.

These words are not slurs, but rather terms. They have very specific meanings that describe very specific traits and characteristics without containing any additional, associated meanings. It would be no different than referring to someone from Arizona as a Mormon, or someone from ancient Greece as a Greek. In fact, many people who self-identify as Mormon have taken offence to the term, despite it being used in a historically accurate manner; however, they do not refer to themselves as anything other than Mormons. It is only bigoted people who take it upon themselves to redefine words and assign them secondary meanings in order to justify their own bigotry.
