"Tropic Thunder" and the R-word

I suppose there is humor for some...or a lot...of people when they here the word retard.

As one who has people with little understanding call me that, I don't like it. It is a hurtful word. I heard it more as a kid than I do now.

Why would the movie "Tropic Thunder" bring back the R-word? I like Ben Stiller, but I won't be seeing this movie.
