Sure, it's offensive, but obviously not racist, they don't know enough about the term to be racist! Let the manufacturer, or whoever, know about it, but to make a big deal out of this is just stupid! There's probably a real good chance they heard the term in a rap song, sung by guess what 'minority'? So all you people out there who thought it was ok to use the term,WRONG! It's come home to roost! </p> Get a life lady! Sure, it’s offensive, but obviously not racist, they don’t know enough about the term to be racist!

I’ve seen some unlikely stuff written by ‘non English speakers’ working from a dictionary and with no first-hand knowledge of the language.

But yes – were I the merchant I would have taken immediate ownership and comped the lady her couch.
