Well, excuse me, but my original comment was doing something about the
problem, like mentioning that the word isn't such a good thing. What am I
supposed to do, besides that? I think you should read your post again and
realize we're all hypocrites, so it's a useless word to throw around.

I WASN'T attacking you personally. Just pointing out that in the spirit of
racial tolerance, the word is probably best left unsaid.
