I never said you used it more than the one time. I can't see how in any culture it can be anything but a derogatory remark, even in common everyday talk. It is used commonly here in the USA too but that does not mean it is an acceptable word. It is meant in a derogatory way here. And I asked very politely for you to edit it out. If you have a problem with that, then you have a problem. All it would have taken from you is either editing it or mentioning that in your culture it is not meant as a derogatory word. But in the context you used it, it can be construed as nothing but. End of subject.
