Some words aren't meant to be used in a derogatory fashion.
But does that really matter? The very word we're discussing has meant many things over the years, and wasn't intended to be a derogatory term when it first debuted or w/e words do. Is it about the word itself, or the intent, or someone sort of combination of the two?The intent of it.
No words are derogatory as it itself, but by the way a person uses it. Just look at the racist term for Asian: It's meant to be a dent in some type of metal, but over the years, it's been used as a tool for racism.
The word itself implied in the OP was probably meant for one thing, but as years passed, it was used more or demeaning a person or persons.
Words are just words. They don't do harm by themselves, but in the hands of the right person, a word can be used as a weapon.
