Do you know what sometimes means?
If I said, "The sun sometimes rises in the east." that is a true statement, but not evidence that it ever does otherwise and if I wanted to claim "...and sometimes it rises in the west." I would still need to provide evidence other than stressing the "sometimes" in my first statement.
How can calling a person (and not actions) "illegal" be anything but derogatory?
Explain your west-rising sun, please.What direction the sun rise is not binary, unlike if a statement is derogatory, the sun can rise in the east, north east, South east, North or south.
If the claim that the sun sometimes rises in east is true than the claim that the sun always rises in the east is false and so is that the claim the sun never rises in the east.
If the claim that illegal is sometimes derogatory is true then the the claim illegal is always derogatory or never derogatory is false.
If the claim that illegal is sometimes derogatory is true then the the claim illegal is always derogatory or never derogatory is false.
No it isn't. Nothing about "sometimes" being true itself proves the corollary "always" is false.
Besides, you would think you could end this by giving the example to refuse to proffer of a non-derogatory use.

You're going to have to provide examples where sometimes means always.

There is no way you'll be honest about the statement. You've all ready stated it's a slur no matter how it's used.

I'm not the one making the claim here, you are.

You keep claiming illegal is always derogatory even though the definition states otherwise.
The definition does not indicate it can be not derogatory—which makes sense because it's derogatory.
You despite claiming sans evidence that it is possible to refer to a human being with a pejorative adjective and it be anything other than derogatory, won't even back up your claim with a single non-derogatory example of its use.
I get why you won't—'cause you can't—but if you were right you'd think You could give an example rather than litigating the implied corollaries to "sometimes".
The definition does not indicate it can be not derogatory—which makes sense because it’s derogatory.
It does that what sometimes means. They would use the word always or possiblly omit it and state illegal is derogatory. They instead use sometimes.
If you can't be honest about the definition of the word sometimes then why would you be honest about if the statement is derogatory.
Tell you what, if you can show when sometimes indicates something always happens I'll give an example.
"Sometimes" is different than "Sometimes although not always"
That I why I had to use different words to type the two different concepts.
Your definition only listed the first, which does not inherently indicate the second.“Sometimes” is different than “Sometimes although not always”
That's a common mistake to think that but sometimes and not always have the same meaning. Your mistake is so common that there are many articles highlighting this redundancy.

sometimes always
Expressions like “not always,” “don’t always,” and “aren’t always” overlap in meaning with “sometimes,” but don’t belong in the same phrase with this word—they’re redundant.
“Sometimes I don’t always feel like jogging” doesn’t make any sense. Say either “sometimes I don’t feel like jogging” or “I don’t always feel like jogging.”
The link you offered does not seem authoritative.
The example it proffered of:“Sometimes I don’t always feel like jogging” doesn’t make any sense.
Makes perfect sense.
Are you going to keep litigating "Sometimes inherently means sometimes not" or are you going to provide an example of a non-pejorative use of referring to a human being as though they themself were illegal?
