This is the most offensive word in the English language:
One which is used by blacks ALL THE TIME. As no one takes the time to address me as a European-American or Irish-American, I shall not bother with the PC b.s. about African-Americans.
This is all PC b.s., IMO. I can say "I love you" in such a way that you know I really mean I detest you.
I am a bit surprised, but happy, a PC outfit like Igantius Press still prints Chesterton's works wherein he uses the term.
