Tell you what, lets take it here as someone started a thread on it:

> [@Why was this useage of "queer" offensive?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-was-this-useage-of-queer-offensive/962320):
>
> [There was a modnote](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-anyone-else-noticed-that-almost-every-single-couple-family-in-commercials-now-is-interracial/962285/39) saying that a poster using the word was offensive. I’m not questioning the note ( I think) but more about why the mod felt it was so. More looking for education, I guess? It fell off to me, but I can’t quite put my finger on why.

Questions about moderation do not belong in the thread itself but in ATMB.
