I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'political autonomy' is the definition.
'self-rule' can be an answer for 'autonomy' (self-rule is a kind of autonomy). I am not certain of the 'political' bit.

'feel slur affected' is the wordplay.
'affected' indicates an anagram.
'feel'+'slur'='feelslur'
'feelslur' is an anagram of 'SELF-RULE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for self-rule that I've seen before include "Autonomy" , "Government of a political unit by its own people" .)
