@Moriel That word is far more acceptable in certain other parts of the world than it is in the USA.

@jemma

Yes I know, and I accepted that a long time ago. But this was a server specific to a single city in the US, and all I was asking was for people to understand and accept that the word in question was historically used in the US to reduce women to nothing more than a walking set of genitals available for any man to take as he pleased. To people of my generation it is a horrible word that should never be uttered.

Apparently that somehow made me racist.

@Moriel sounds like you were right to walk away

@jemma

Yeah, this was just the final straw in a long chain of events.
