So yes negro exists in the middle but not as the source necessarily... It would have evolved (if I read the etymology correctly) as Nigrum -> Niger -> Negro/neger/negar/negur -> removed.
Good thing the N word is being censored here, otherwise we might actually learn something.
I fucking hate indiscriminate censorship. In some context the word is important in order to learn and educate
It's your own .world instance that's doing the censorship.
Oh that's good to know and also fucked up, I thought they stopped that censoring bullshit. Thank you for letting me know.
How would I go about to see this post outsife ot my .world? I can't even click the link because it removes it from the URL, this is so fucking stupid.
Click the little multicolored pentagon symbol next to my name.
Should link to https://lemmy.saik0.com/comment/3423797 which is a direct version from my lemmy instance.
Yeah... While admittedly discussions like this one are far outweighed by the negative uses of the term; when discussion is happening where clarity is more relevant than appeasing the euphemism treadmill censorship sucks.
https://lemmy.saik0.com/comment/3423797 should get you to the original version. My instance doesn't censor.
