<div dir="ltr">The idea that a software library that happens to share name with a racial slur that is over 180 years old and has not been part of common social use for several decades would make people angry is ridiculous. Especially when the word as meanings that pre-date the slur. If that upsets you to the point where you are unable to get past it then it is time to unplug your tv, your radio and your internet and live a life of peaceful solitude.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 12, 2018 at 7:03 AM, Loïc Hoguin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:essen@ninenines.eu" target="_blank">essen@ninenines.eu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">This idea that white supremacists need a reason to call others using racial slurs is ridiculous at best.

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".<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

Intent IS important and the intent of the people who applied this term to black people was a very bad intent.<br>

?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>
