It's been six hundred years; whatever the word's etymology, it matters not one bit of difference to what it actually means now. And it's used to describe natives. It's not a slur. This is a 'dogs v canines' equation; both are right. One is more colloquial, the other is motivated by the modern day blue-eyed devil feeling guilty about something they had no part in whatsoever.
