There are also those who believe that the word "niggardly" is a racial slur. People have been fired because there are those who say it is a racial slur.
It is not a racial slur, and is really, really believing that it is will not change that fact.
isn't it amazing to occasionally see a politician or some other 'personality' all teary-eyed in front of the media apologizing or resigning for using 'niggardly'? It is a hoot. What idiocy..
