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

Heck, most teacher these days think the word "niggardly" is a racial slur. Amazing how the PC-Police have started outlawing words that can be mistaken for something else - dumbing down the citizens by limiting their vocabulary in the hopes that they will become as stupid as those who think they need to be oppressed.

But isn’t “Negro” the actual name of the race?

I thought black people could use the term. I mean, liberal blacks call conservative blacks “house negro” all the time.
