> for using common terminology in a way you don’t like.
When did it become common terminology? I am 47 years old and don't remember that term ever being used until the last presidential election as a means to vilify people of color.
Maybe I just wasn't paying attention the other 44 years?
Unfortunately any word used to describe a population that people don't like will stop being a descriptor and become a slur if it's used long enough.
