Odd that so pejorative term "chicano" is used as root (latin...). Perhaps it is no longer considered derogatory. I don't know many things anymore ;)

Well, I you aren't in the South West of the US, where a lot of these progressive linguistic changes are happening. So not your fault! And you aren't AFAIK genderqueer, which again means you don't seek these communities out. I am kind of fluid so it's natural I chance on these.

Oh and do you think this also extends to pronouns? For example in saying καποι* ? Maybe I have to be more careful for not triggering unwanted associations!

I have no idea on the pronouns thing, but maybe start a dialogue when appropriate with Greek-speaking activists?
