It's a touchy one, but when people get all jumpy over certain racial slurs. Yes, they're hurtful, but only as much as you make them. And if you keep treating words such as those like they're these terrible devil phrases, that's how they're going to stay. It's 2015 now, we don't have to try and shield people of color (Asians, African Americans, Indians, Mexicans, even Caucasians and so on) from these words cause we don't need to use them like that anymore.
