In Dutch "Spook" means ghost, so if I start talking in Dutch and casually mention a ghost movie I'm suddenly racist????

Also, "Spook" is sometimes also an actual name people have. Are they suddenly racist for having parents that gave them their name?

Keep in mind that this is not a Dutch speaking community and that its an English one.

And keep in mind, the original english language, the original place of the english language, has NOT ever had that word as a Racial slur.
the word "Spook" in the english language, is todo with a ghost/scare. and that dates to a very long time ago, which is still it's definition today, AND even in the English dictionary is listed with that, NOT a definition, that simulated from america.

If we're taking that argument wouldn't that make a vast majority of very common racial slurs allowed then?

Name one

The N word was never in the original english language and had a racially offensive definition formed over a time I believe.

Hey fren, come here, lean in real close, I'll tell you something that you may not know

hello there was never one definitive English language, new words were introduced a lot. the difference is that the n-word is specifically racist but spook has a less recent, more widely known definition
