It's a “word”. Is it no longer PC to say “Negro”? If Negress and Negro offend you, then you are too PC. “Nigger” is also a word that without it most African Americans couldn't speak to each other. It is a legitimate “word”. Most people are afraid to even type it. Why is that? It is not a magic word. It doesn't turn you into a racist for just typing it. Maybe in the way these words are used can be, may be offensive. BUT, you don't have a right to not be offended.

Screw the word police. They have no authority in my life. You shouldn't let them rule yours.

FREEDOM! Doesn't exist unless you exercise it, every chance you get. Even when it is uncomfortable, especially when it is uncomfortable.

Bravo! The first step in the battle against PC is to say whatever the hell you want to say, with the PC police’s feelings be damned.
