You may think I am arguing for the sake of arguing, but I am not. I am arguing that the line of reasoning you are using is wrong and it is still an offensive term regardless of the history behind it, or lack thereof

The guy who is bitching about this... or even bl@ck is only bitching about it not because they feel offended. And lets not pretend it is...
If you can't see the similarities then I pity you

The same goes for using the word N-er to refer to a black guy and calling a Chinese guy ching-chong. Its not the same.

So if that is the case it must have racial overtones to it and easily read as a derogatory remark.
