Hailie Deegan used the word while making a video. If you&#8217;ve been on TikTok, you&#8217;ve probably seen a video where you double-tapped a video. This is a common mistake that is now causing problems for the site. While you can still double-tap videos and make them appear better, you should avoid using the R-Slur to mock people with intellectual disabilities.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hailie_Deegans_r_word_on_tiktok\"><\/span>Hailie Deegan&#8217;s &#8216;r&#8217; word on tiktok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A NASCAR driver has apologized for using the &#8216;r&#8217; word on a live stream in response to a commenter&#8217;s question about a virtual race. She is scheduled to drive full-time in the NASCAR Truck Series in 2021, but that may not stop her from expressing her sensitivity. It is not uncommon for a driver to use the &#8216;r&#8217; word on social media, but using it in this context is especially offensive.<\/p>\n<p>The comment quickly went viral and Deegan&#8217;s apology spanned multiple social media channels. In April, Kyle Larson was suspended for using the &#8216;n-word&#8217; during a virtual race. He was fired from Chip Ganassi Racing and lost major sponsors, but was able to make amends and return to the sport after meeting certain requirements. He is currently on probation until 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The TikTok community is contributing to the lexicon of the internet, with users coining new words and terms to describe the platform. As of April, there were nearly 2 million new tiktok videos posted. Some of these videos were created by people in the same community as Hailie Deegan, and the hashtag #r-word tagged the video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Double_tapping_a_TikTok_video\"><\/span>Double tapping a TikTok video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to share your TikTok video with others, you should first know that you can do it with the tap of a button. Once you&#8217;ve uploaded a video, you can edit the description and add sounds. Additionally, you can add hashtags to your video description and tag friends, or disable comments, duets, and reactions. The Inbox is a handy place to check for notifications and activity related to your account.<\/p>\n<p>The double tap on a video shows a heart when it&#8217;s liked. If you&#8217;ve accidentally liked a video, you won&#8217;t know about it because you&#8217;ve already unliked it. Double tapping a video to delete it will also delete it from your TikTok profile. However, you can still like a video you have shared with others on TikTok by clicking on the heart button.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing to follow a person on TikTok is similar to following a person on Facebook. Both apps use a recommendation algorithm based on the user&#8217;s interaction with the app. If a user likes a video about animals, he or she can comment on it or follow that person&#8217;s account. This helps the algorithm understand what interests the user and filters out videos that don&#8217;t interest them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_R_word_as_a_slur_for_people_with_intellectual_disabilities\"><\/span>Using the &#8216;R&#8217; word as a slur for people with intellectual disabilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons why people use the &#8216;R&#8217; word as a derogatory term for people with intellectual disabilities. For some, it may be an expression of dislike for a stupid, juvenile or silly person. Other people might be more sympathetic, but the word sounds ignorant and sarcastic. If you are the type of person who uses the R-word, it may be helpful to think about the person&#8217;s feelings before saying it. Whether you&#8217;re talking to an individual or a support worker, make sure to always try to avoid the &#8216;R&#8217; word in your interactions with people with intellectual disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;R&#8217; word has many disadvantages. It may be a slur for someone with intellectual disabilities, or it might be the simplest insult imaginable. People with intellectual disabilities often have difficulties communicating, walking, and understanding social rules. This makes them especially vulnerable to verbal taunts. Children have limited capacities for understanding the emotional or psychological damage one word can have. However, some progress has been made since the use of the &#8216;R&#8217; word as a slur in the media. The comedian Tom Segura made a satirical rant about people with intellectual disabilities in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its history, the R-word remains one of the most derogatory terms for people with intellectual disabilities. The phrase has a long and storied history, with its origin in the 15th century. It comes from the Latin &#8220;retardare&#8221; &#8211; meaning slow. The R-word is not just a derogatory term, it also perpetuates exclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XMgOsibNtBY\" height=\"260\" width=\"466\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Rword on TikTok?
