Maybe I should dial it back. I don't remember any subjects coming up that just left my mouth agape when I was nine years old.
Not sure what this means, but the word in question is almost never used in modern day, even by racists. The kid is in a school and is asking a question about a word that is important to American history. He may very well not know the distinction, and it's pretty silly to look at that as a slight on his dad.

Maybe my parents just took more time at home? You have an Asian SN so I'm assuming education was a priority in your home as well. Probably not driving, though
Leaving this one alone.

Maybe in some hill in Appalachia or some other isolated community, but most people who use it know what they're doing. And I don't fault the child. But I do fault the father. That's life. He's probably around my age or older. Again, I was in elementary school from 1987-1993. It wasn't so "giggle giggle oh what does this mean" term then.
