Tom, I have no doubt you intend no disrespect. However, I have heard that very same ethnic slang used as a slur.
If you are permitted to use it, we set the stage for others to use it. And if we we allow that one, then why not others? Before long the Mods here will be cleaning up one post after another and not very happy about it.
An international forum where often sensitive subjects are up for discussion is a fragile environment. We intend to handle it with care.
I think we are clear on this, yes?
