Using a slur is unfortunately protected speech. You can walk into the middle of a supermarket and shout the N word and not be arrested. Calling someone a slur is hate crime, and is absolutely not protected. If your manager calls you a slur, you can sue him. And other similar examples.
Sure, but if you’re having a long enough interaction with a child that you are able to use the slur enough times to be reported as “repeatedly”… There’s an argument that you’re harassing them. Which is something you can sue over.
A hate crime needs a crime. Your example involving workplace is different due to worker protections. I don’t think just calling someone something is a crime though. You’d have to prove something like ‘intent to cause a riot’ or something, which is really hard to prove. Also the only damages you could sue for are emotional, which are really hard to prove; unlike your workplace example where damages would be a lot more tangible due to loss of work for example.
That’s a good point, I should probably mete out my understanding a bit better.
