I have stated over and over how many people nowadays love to hate, jump to their own opinionated conclusions, and then feel it is perfectly okay to pass their hate onto that person in some derogatory remark or with physical violence. Go ahead, read it again. My opinion and it is just my opinion, is that the way C-Lai is used here on this forum, from the years I have seen it used, has not been used in an endearing remark towards a particular group of people.
Alright, so you innocently brought up another word that you think is probably derogatory, but intended no parallels to be drawn to the racism clearly at the heart of discussion right now, ok. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

There's the definition for you. In case you aren't seeing the difference, it's a term shaped by its own culture to have a certain connotation, albeit negative. What it isn't is a word made up by an external culture to systemically degrade and vilify a certain demographic. Is it endearing? No. Is it racist? Also no. Is the n-word racist? Absolutely yes.

Also, again,
