Two lnsults...

one implies a person is a sub-par human and the other implies a person is sub-human. That's why one can kiss my ass and the other I support (Samantha Bee). And remember that in a world seeking gender equality the term used is exactly like calling a male a dick or a prick. When has anyone been called on to apologize for that?

You hit it right out of the park. Being called sub-human has played an important role in the subjugation of black people in America. Check out Charles Blow in this clip below. He very powerfully lays it all out.
