Years ago, Richard Pryor had a short-lived variety show. In one skit, I can't remember it exactly, he played an old man who used the term several times in a monologue, then fell asleep. Either Richard Pryor, or another character, like I said, I can't remember, came on, and said the problem is, if you say it enough, no matter who you are, you start to believe it.
Again, I apologize. I was raised in the segregated south by a mom who tried her best to raise me to be colorblind. I try to do the same with my children. I guess I don't always do a good job.
If anyone wants to e-mail and discuss further, feel free to.

If scholars, comedians, actors, teachers, executives, musicians, sales people, officials, coaches, players, Athletic Directors, School Board Members, assignors, students, educators, authors and entertainers cannot agree on what is acceptable and not acceptable, what makes you think we are going to solve that issue here?

The NFHS already solved the issue for it's officials.
NFHS rule 10-4-1(d)NOTE-- "The NFHS disapproves of any form of taunting which is intended or designed to embarrass, ridicule or demean others under any circumstances including on the basis of race, religion, gender or national origin".
I can't see anything in there saying any particular race is exempt from that rule. If the taunting involves race, religion, gender or national origin, it's prohibited.
