That's so old-school racist it doesn't count anymore, like Irish_Americans give a shit in 2025. You're diluting the word, making it worth less.

This is what people mean when they say, "You can't say anything anymore!" They're not mad they can't say n*****, they're mad because of silly shit like this. If everything is racist, language becomes a minefield, impossible to keep up with and navigate.
