I should have worded it better. When the term was created, there was no historical significance to it. It was a way to label a race. I didn't mean there was no historical significance to the word at all (again I should have worded my previous statement better). The point I was getting at is the words "honkey", "whitey", ect, they had no historical significance when they were created, but they were created for a purpose, to label a race, same as the n-word.
