[Nope, not gonna work, Sherlock. Sorry. John keeps his eyes pinned on Sherlock's. He's not backing down.]
I know I'll be called slurs from idiots if I get the job I want. If I've got a pureblood patient and they're a big enough moron to call the person trying to keep them alive a mudblood, or worse, then whatever. It doesn't matter. Once they're not my patient anymore, I'll never have to see or think about their ignorant arse again.
But you're my friend. And you're not an idiot, even if you're a stubborn prat most of the time. You know I was called that slur over and over when I was attacked, and though it just gets me angry when I hear some random idiot say it, you matter. You might not mean it the same way they did, but that sure as hell doesn't mean I have to just put up with hearing it from you.
Like you said, you don't care if others call you 'freak' or 'psychopath'. Would you feel the same way if it were me casually throwing those around at you?
