I tried to think of the dutch word for ‘maroon’ recently, you know the societies built by escaped slaves in the new world, and the dutch phrase I remembered was forrest-[n-word]. And theres no way thats still used.

A lot of “Woke” concepts got imported via the internet or academia, so the word for them is just the English word.
Like you’ll go
Bløh di bløh di bløh di Gender queer bløh di bløh di bløh
It’s funny because we will sometimes have a local variant on this. Like we technically have an equivalent of queer. But it is not reclaimed. It is still very much offensive. So instead of the local word being reclaimed we just use the English word, and the local words just stay slurs.
This also goes for other words that can be used positively by other minority groups.
Non-English word? Slur
English word? Potentially woke
Since I don’t want to teach anyone any slurs you’re just gonna have to take my word for it.
