Care to provide any of that? Because so far all I have seen is your opinion, and a bunch of people disagreeing.

This is not evidence that the term is a slur.

This is the definitions of words which most everyone in this thread certainly already knew, strung together with your opinion that they are connected.

While this has been somewhat entertaining, I don't think I'll continue to feed your delusions any further.

I will not be replying again. Goodbye.
