What I meant was that these epithets should be retired from general usage along with all other derogatory names that have been ascribed to various peoples in our "melting pot" nation. A person is a person is a person and referring to certain people by certain derogatory epithets implies un underlying attitude of tolerance for racism. One day I hope "japs and chinks" will truly be archaic.
