        Oh then read the Wikipedia page you referenced. It actually gives examples supporting my statement.

        And once again, I am not saying it isn’t racist today or that people weren’t racist back then or that the word is OK today or any of the other weird things people keep acting like I said.

        I lost my patience with people being willfully ignorant a while ago. I just thought it was an interesting moment in time to see how language evolved. Not terribly dissimilar to many other terms people used to use that later morphed into slurs.
