I know picnic is verboten, but can they still say picaninny?

Well, I didn’t see that word on the list, so it must be OK.

Didn’t Joe Xiden play his “picaninny”, for the”roaches” when he was a lifeguard?;^}

One school year I had another teacher jump me about using the term ‘picnic’ while mentioning that years school picnic.
He assured me that the term was a derivative of the word picaninny and that he, being black, was all sort of offended by the term.
I told him that I understood his being offended by that use of the word, but that I was using the word that was derived from the French...pique-nique and that that had nothing to do with picaninny.
