Reminds me of the incident where a white staffer under the mayor of Washington DC used the word niggardly in a private meeting while discussing a financial report. Of course it has nothing to do with race, it means stingy.
But that didn't matter. Other DC officials, media people, and activists were outraged and demanded and got the staffer's resignation.
