Niggardly? Swastikas? WTF people?
If the term Niggardly doesn't sound alarm bells in your mind before using it then I would like you to point out the rock you grew up under.
If I mention that someone looks "greasy" or you need to "grease" something up then I don't expect every Italian to come find me with legit beef.
And look out ladies.... don't let me hear you calling anyone "hunky" cause my Polish ethic background takes offense to that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunky_culture
I lean left... hate Trump and most of his diehard followers with a passion. I would draw the line on PC culture with having to be reminded of someones race as to why I should NOT use a term that originated among the ancient Greeks and was more popularized by writers like Charles Dickens.
I know you were joking 93-98 and I don't take any offense to what you mentioned. If anything... thanks for the history lesson...but the term "spade a spade" is still a legit term to use to call something "for what it is" in my eyes. Race shouldn't even be a factor here.
