I keep saying that it is not intent but it’s perception.I now note after a long time you are now pleading the “ non intent” card.
Now you see we are back to intent and how it feels when you are accused of something you did not intend😅
However in doping terms you are guilty of neglect and lack of a modern education and in this context you are digging and digging a massive hole.
Any answers to the other questions or are you going to reply with foul insults again ?
Wikipedia doesn’t say the term should not be used.
It says more mildly that it is sometimes not used: “in contemporary U.S. society, the idiom is often avoided due to potential confusion with the slur.”
For what it is worth, Armstronglivs is not a part of “U.S. society”. Maybe not even a part of “contemporary”.
You say it is “perception”, but have you perceived it to be a slur? Has anyone? Would anyone?
Do you expect him apologize on the possibility that someone might misinterpret the phrase when reading it in context?
From the context, it was clearly not a slur targeted at African Americans, and it is not likely anyone perceived it as such.
Clearly not intent but you have to admonish for neglectful language when used. Strict liability me thinks.
