    You begin with “this clearly has nothing to do with racial slurs” and have near the end “they probably changed it because coon is a slur for black people”.

    This is a self contradictory, both statements can’t be true at the same time.

    I am not offended by anything here, I could care less about what they use as fun wordplay in there.

    Had a slow day and lots of free time at a train ride and just want to show that everything written can be misinterpreted and misunderstood. There is a bad meaning or derogatory slang for nearly every word out there.

      It absolutely can be true, though slightly misworded.

      1. the initial usage had nothing to do with the derogatory term.

      2. upon realizing the relation to the derogatory term they adapted.

        Yes, if you change the complete context and make major changes to the sentences, then both can be true. I am sorry that I made that mistake, I beg for forgiveness
