re: #79 bratwurst
To repeat myself from the last thread:
I think it’s an innocent enough term. I learned it too from Uncle Remus stories (which we read in school). Just because some racists might have used it (though I’ve never seen a single instance of such abuse) doesn’t make the term unacceptable.
To add to it: unless it’s used to disparage a person (or persons), I don’t think it’s racist.
