Context matters. Always. One person can use a word and it will be not racist, another can use the same term and it will be racist. You should ask the person what they define as “civilized”. Their reasoning is your answer.

woop_woop@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Roseanne Embarrasses Herself With Pro-Trump Rap Video0·6 months agoWhy would you spread this? That’s the point of these things, to get a reaction out of people and get it seen by more people.
Stop making shit worse
woop_woop@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•At what point do you stop calling the years "two thousand and X" and start calling them "twenty X"?0·9 months ago2010, simply because of how english works.
If you say 2001 as twenty one, it’s confusing. Same goes all the way up to “twenty nine”.
And it’s more garbled and slower to say “twenty oh one” vs “two thousand one”, especially if you’re speaking quickly.
“Twenty ten” and up, however, starts making sense as a different piece of information and can be used easily.

Simpson's estate plans to fight payout to the families of Brown and Goldman1·1 year agoFor what it’s worth, I agree with your interpretation here. The executor’s statements are just douchey and inflammatory, but yeah - the will says what one wants to be done. Others may contest it and the executor tries to act on your behalf to get what you want done.
Yeah, I believe the phrase is short for the weather:
What’s the weather doing?
It is raining.
