That whole niggardly thing is so ridiculous, that I actually find it offensive that my species can be that stupid. I am honestly surprised the Spanish language isn't banned in public schools, or at least forbidden from teaching students the word for the color black.

From that, Darth Solo, you can see how hopelessly pathetic my country is when it comes to political correctness, and it should no longer surprise you that my fellow countrymen had such an over the top reaction to your comments.

 

Just so I don't offend anyone, I am going to bleep out this wikipedia quote from the link Gaffer posted,

"******" derives from the Spanish/Portuguese word *****, meaning "black", and probably also the French ****, which likewise has become a racist insult in American culture. Both ***** and noir (and therefore also ***** and ******) ultimately come from ***rum, the accusative case of the Latin word ****, meaning "black".

So, while it clearly states above that it is a racist insult in American culture, it is our internets, so your culture doesn't mean fuck all to us! We are going to force our cultural standards down your throat and you are going to like it! And if you don't comply, we are going to get offended and indignant and do our damnedest to make you feel like shit and completely unwelcomed! Then we are going to sit back with a glowing feeling of righteousness at having set some poor asshole straight and making the world a slightly better, loving, and understanding place to live in.

Sorry if anyone feels I am being an ass or like I am picking on them, I don't mean anything personally toward anyone. I am just in a bad mood, and stuff like this annoys me.
