I wouldn't be a bit surprised if "denigrated" is eventually banned, because it comes from the Latin word "niger," which means "black."

Try using the word "niggardly" sometime and see what happens.

Niggardly isn't even derived from the Latin word for black. It is derived from the Scandanavian word for miserly. But it sounds too much like "nigger" so it must be racist.

...The then-head of the Washington, D.C., Office of Public Advocate, while talking to colleagues about budgetary matters, used the word "niggardly."

Now, we all say stupid things. No doubt Howard, who is white, felt like a dope at that instant because he used a term that was a near homonym with the "N"-word...Before long, a retinue of hot dogs and race-baiters took to the street corners, demanding swift justice. On Jan. 27, they won. Howard apologized for his language and then resigned.

If I were in Howard's place, I would not have felt like a dope for saying "niggardly," would not have apologized, and would not have resigned. And if they had fired me, I would have responded with a lawsuit.
