I think language is dynamic and, especially around identity, changes quickly. I think that term has annoyed me for probably since a bit before Obama seems to have used it here.
you said it doesn't matter that i'm not offended, so not sure why it matters you are. but you agree your earlier point that this phrase has not been used for a long time is incorrect, yes? thread above includes 20 recent sources. + naacp, advocate mag, biden etc.
