I'm an exception because I actually know more about the word that just the word and it's basic origins?
I agree that any word is not offensive if used in the correct context.
I just think that seeing ignorance or otherwise derogatory behavior has many words that can describe the person demonstrating it. Using one of those words as a sign of respect is ignorant in and of itself.
Like that trend of saying something is "stupid" if you think it's good. | You're an exception because you learned the word is made offensive by its connotations and intended meanings, not just dogmatically as in "That's a bad word!" "Why?" "Because it's bad! Never say it!"
"Would you like some pie, Dr. Stark?"
"Science is my pie. Curiosity, my sweet tooth.
Knowledge is my candy." |
