You're wrong, future generations will correctly perceive you and others on the right as being ignorant.What do you think future generations will think of this taboo term? Is it a word or a sound? Is it banned only in the U.S. or all English speaking countries? How about non-English countries? Are there equivalent terms which are banned? What does it mean, anyway? Is its acceptable use limited to one's genetic background? If so, what percentage of preferred genetic traits is required for licensure? Or is it vice versa?
I think future generations will think we have lost our minds...
The word '******' is not banned in the United States, you're at liberty to use it however you want, to maintain otherwise is idiocy.
'******' means subhuman or non-human, where it was used to justify slavery and assuage the guilt of slaveholders, where if African-Americans aren't human, then slavery is not immoral.
Consequently the word is deeply offensive.
