What is the best way to react, if someone calls you a degenerate? Just leave them, remembering the insult?

This type of insult targets disabled people specifically?

    Calling someone a degenerate is their way of saying you have low/no morals etc.  Is a lame insult used by people who think they have some high ground over you.

    Like I’d imagine some fundamentalist Christian using it about skaters back in the 90s.

    I’m not sure why it would be used to comment on disability.
