I saw nothing wrong with your original statement.
The movement to ban the "r word" is one of the reasons Trump won. Over sensitivity is creating anger and indignation.
We have bigger battles to fight, everyone. This isn't the time for semantics. We have enough division without battles like this being waged.
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.
Oh damn, when you can’t say slurs suddenly semantics matter a whole lot? 🤔
Prediction: you are going to remain silent when austerity kills disabled people in the US like it did in the UK
