    Youre right, its not the same kind of term. Its the same argument though, thats what I said.

    what good do you POSSIBLY expect to come from educating people about this?

    Not sure if youre serious about passing on knowledge being useless, but Ill bite. I am simply basing it off my own efforts to avoid using problematic language. I very much appreciate people telling me when I use words like that and why they are problematic, so that I can potentially avoid them in the future.

    Let me ask you the same: What do you expect to gain from me not educating people about the origins of the term? From people still connecting crime to minorities through language invented by racists for propaganda?

        Not sure where youre going with your immature accusations and name calling. I can understand that you are angry, but maybe you should direct your anger at the people who deserve it instead of a neutral piece of information.

        I never called anyone racist or accused them of anything and it hurts me that you keep putting words into my mouth and accusing me of ill intent when I didnt have any. I shared an info that someone once shared with me which I was thankful for, I wanted to do the same. Sorry it offended you so badly.
