The press is claiming that it must be a racial slur because it is an insult in the Ladino dialect of his Sephardic jewish mother.
I am pointing out that the press is wrong as usual and that the word has no racial connotation in Ladino.
Allen says it was not a racial comment, and the word's own background shows that it is not a racial comment.
how he thinks he used it is the most relevant thing there is. his campaign has said it was a mix up of mohawk and caca. now, that has been going on for a few days. You think Allen wouldn't correct that if it were wrong?
