‘Negro’ and derived words weren’t ‘bad’ around the world until USians came along insisting that their usage of language is the only one possible and everyone else must follow.

Or many other bad words. It is just better safe than sorry.

Your sooooo confidential wrong my kid, the word is from European slavers before the US even existed as a state, go read some history books before you post.

My problem is that i dont want this word to exist. It just annoys me, that I have to be so prudish, because some cultures enslaved black people. Apparently there are more than western countries in the world, and none of them need to loan a racial slur, so we can carry this further with us. My language never did so. And loaning yet another racial slur because we are gringos is not the best thing i think.
