A massive reach of it being literally the same word? Like obviously they didn’t mean it in a racist way but clearly they decided that having a racial slur in the docs there was not something they felt good about.
So does apple, coconut, cracker, gin, barbarian, brownie, skinny, spade, spook, teabag and a whole host of different words.
It should never be about the word itself, but how it’s being used. Someone being called a genius doesn’t usually mean they are being applauded for their intellect either, for example.
Sure, but unless you’re talking about a Maine coon then its not really an apples to apples comparison is it? All the words you’ve mentioned have very commonplace uses but this does not, and it is not being used in a context that is “usual” for it.
This discussion is meaningless anyway because nobody was like, calling them out for it, or at least I haven’t seen evidence for that being the case. They decided they felt uncomfortable and changed it.
That’s a massive reach.
