These words make me squirm. fag - a pile of sticks (secondary meaning, rarely used) nigger - a person from a poor background (secondary meaning, almost unheard of) chink - a chink in a chain (primary meaning) speck - a speck of dust (primary meaning) I am sure you have words in your native language, which in general function to isolate someone for being different or not being 'normal'. Do these become any less uncomfortable because someone says they mean it in a different way? _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
