Definitely.

A lot of racist terms over the years have been excused as 'just a name', 'no harm intended' etc. It doesn't mean they are not racist. People would have been arguing if they were racist or not much in the same way we are now. Times change as do perceptions with the times.

I'm just debating it. People trying to pigeon hole me into an age/political/race bracket because of questioning something is laughable though. Not you by the way.
