I didn't want anyone to copy a definition off google. It's okay to do research to make an informed opinion, but I was interested in the actual feelings of people-what the feel when they see people using the word and what they think other people feel. I brought it up because I was asked to. It may be a little weird that we are this talkative about it, but talking about it is better than pretending it's not a word and just removing it from existence whenever we see it.
As for it not being racist in the past...hello? It was used as a demeaning term for hundreds of years.
it only became racist when white people started using it
