Naw, it was most commonly used as a term similar to “that chinese guy” which is easy to confuse with racism at a time period where people were generally racist towards the chinese, but the term itself is not racist. There were actual slurs back then they could use if they were about that.
My Grandmother said they always bought they’re vegetables growing up from the chinaman who rolled his cart through the alleyway behind their homes. It’s not a term of hate, but it’s easy to say hateful things alongside it.
Eh fuck you too? My life experiences are different than yours and directly contrast your assertion.
I shared that experince because I think you are wrong and wanted to give an example to that end. But hey, if you wanna keep pretending everyone in the past were evil racists, you can keep living with that in your heart. I dunno what it does for you though.
I just disagree. We are equally dense at worst. I’ve already expressed people were racist and had slurs that they used. Im not ignoring that or unaware of it or trying to gloss over that. This just wasn’t one of them for a long stretch of time.
You won’t believe it because you just don’t believe it. That’s you being dense. You refuse to accept the reality I’ve witnessed. Terms weren’t used with equal intent globally throughout history. How a term was used in Caldwell Idaho in 1930 is not how it was used in Pennsylvania at the same time, despite them both being America and the people involved all being American.
author of that comment here, hi. wasn’t joking. if you say that word expect to be perceived as racist. there’s a lot of people here with varying degrees of patience trying to help you through this you should consider listening to them.
the wikipedia article on it cites two instances where it didn’t seem to be wayy back at the word’s inception. but yeah hardly matters in the grand scheme
It’s never been anything but.

How are you this dense?

Throughout its existence the prevalent use has been as a racial slur.
Dude, the people in the past admitted to being racist, and when a racist term gets used it shouldn’t be excused.
Again with the dense skull.

Yet as another commentor points out that its the opposite
“at the world’s inception” should have clued you in on the jest…

Keep defending your racist grandma.
