<p>I'm sorry, but "coon" was definitely a pejorative term during
*my* childhood. I'm not a part of the affected group, but it is
certainly one of the strongly associated meanings that attach to
it in my mind. Use a word meaning the same animal from a
different language. Or spell out the name in full. Or name it
after someone's pet raccoon. Or just change it. There's no
downside to changing it, and there is a downside to keeping it. I
don't know how strong a downside, but it's better to avoid any.<br>

Again Valery does not apply this term to black people or
make any reference about them or the US History, so there's
no intent here. He's using the other meaning.<br>

Soon you will argue that hunters are racists because they
call racoons "coons".

Intent IS important and the intent of the people who

?People are getting offended much too easily these
days? ? this argument has been plastered all over
American news for years, always coming from a
privileged group claiming hurt. This is the white
supremesist position.<br>

This reminds me of people who were calling some
coffee brand racist not<br>
realizing that the Spanish or Portuguese
translation for "black"<br>
looks a<br>
lot like a racist slur.<br>

People are getting offended much too easily these
days. Intent is<br>
important and there's no intent to slur here.<br>
