Regardless of your position on this, I find the weight that we put on certain words fascinating.
Context, damnit! Context! Heck, my gf calls me a chink sometimes, but she says it as a term of endearment, not out of malice or to belittle me. Oh wait... hm... or maybe she is... ahhh... my heart... it is broken.
