Your forensic etymology does not change how people feel about the word. The fact is that they don't like to be called that, so if you want to be respectful you simply don't call them that.If you don't care about being respectful, then you certainly have a wide range of things to call them, but that's on you, not them, and you shouldn't be surprised by the result.As a quick test of the impotence of etymology, try calling an African-American "niggardly." I suspect that you will be shouting that the root words are completely different over your shoulder as you run for your life.By definition, what's offensive is defined by what offends people. You're just not in a position to lecture them as to what they should prefer to be called.
digg it good!?
Or if you aren't thin, you aren't beautiful. Oh my god how offensive. It's possible that they value a fairer skin vs tanned. In other cultures we have bronzing, spray tans etc but no one cries racism at that?

Radioshack just LOVES taking advantage of people who aren't tech-savvy in the slightest. Eventually, I hope everyone will start catching up when they realize how necessary it is, and places like RadioShack will go out of business.
I suck at drawing, but for some reason 3D modeling clicks with me. It's fun and I need to get back into it. Last time I was modeling was for some random fun maps in BF1942 with Gmax.
