I prefer to think if he's going to be a vicious racist who grew up hearing his mom using racial slurs left and right and who had them so embedded in his brain at an early age that it was the first name he came up with when he saw a somewhat-dark skinned kid with a freakazoid haircut from the enemy campaign who was pointing a camera at him, that he wasn't using the feminine of a slur in his mother's first language or a bastardization of the slur in her third language (assuming her second language is English by the time he was born), but instead that he used the orginal Latin.

I think it is more likely he was not aware of the masculine/feminine forms of animistic nouns in romance languages, and hearing his mother referring primarily to black women, thought it applied to black people in general.

I think he is also a complete idiot who wanted to fire out a racial insult at a man who was annoying him, thought he could use a term only he and a few others knew, and had not realized that while most Americans may not be familiar with Colon vernacular, these days you can look up anything on the internet.

I am not particularly exercised by his vocabulary, but I am tired, so tired, of politicians who are just plain stupid.
