See, that’s the problem.
The problem with racism and racist terminology is that there are people who keep focusing on the idea that it’s about “offending” people.
No, not it’s not.
It’s about the fact that language is one of the weapons in the arsenal of a fundamentally oppressive society.
So, no, the fact that there might be some theoretically small number of people who might take offense in any situation has zero relevance.
Actually, it has less than zero relevance, in that it acts as a diversion from the actual issues at stake. But maybe that was your intent?
