Yikes dude, even Peter Thiel hat the good sense to censor the slur.
And i guarantee you that he's still more racist than i am... but okay, my comme t is removed now, and nobody cared to explain the actual source of the term, i learned from it anyway.
We in Europe tend to not be afraid of words and censoring them feels pretty pointless. It's just a word, it's the context that gives it meaning, which in this case was educational. If you go calling people slurs then obviously the context changes, but on its own it's just a word.
