SteezyYeeterare you promoting ankilla? because that's a completely rational take. just look at other words like fuck, pussy, or telling someone to kill themselves. won't raise an eyebrow nowadays, but you'd get suspended for saying that 40 years ago. only reason the n word is problematic is because people are told to be offended by it.
not promoting him, but that from my understanding was what he was trying to explain. The problem is that he is an egotistical jackass (at least his online persona is, never met him in person), and the ski industry, containing mostly rich white people, is not the place for that conversation.
Also, the n word has a history that is hard to ignore, so I'm just going to continue my life not using it and suggest others do as well.
