A school board member in Ohio did the Nazi salute to the board’s president, who later resigned, during a contentious Tuesday meeting.
Tipp City Schools board member Anne Zakkour said, “Oh … Sieg Heil,” before doing the Nazi salute to the group’s head, Simon Patry, during a meeting about transparency in school projects.
Zakkour had tried interrupting Patry during his remarks before Patry told her she was not allowed to speak, leading to her using the Nazi salute.

The incident is the latest example of how controversial school board meetings have gotten since the pandemic as issues of transparency and curriculum have caused many meetings around the country to bubble over in fury.
She wasn’t promoting Nazism herself, she was sarcastically calling the president a Nazi. Or the Nazi.
I didn’t think she was actually promoting Nazism. But if you Sieg Heil, or use the n-word or any slurs, you better have a good reason. And “council procedure doesn’t allow people to interrupt the president of the board” is not a good enough reason.
Seemed like it was an ongoing issue and that was just the proverbial straw. Also, the retort may have hit close to the heart for the dude to dip out right after. But, as usual, this is just speculation on my part.
You are comparing the two slurs where there is no comparison. There are many instances where you could legitimately call someone a Nazi. Ie. Calling out a white supremacist as a Nazi.
There is pretty much zero situations where I can use the n word. (Unless between your race and as a term of endearment)
I don’t think it’s worth it in any case. You can use another example. Doing stuff like this takes away from your point and muddles everything.
