No, this it totally upside down.
White teens on a vacation cannot be 'deeply offended by a historically offensive term of subjugation'.
The power of the word in this context is not 'material offences' to those who have suffered in slavery - it's 'social offence' invented by the SJ crowd.
Children have been taught to 'be offended' and to castigate when they hear the word - so they do.
That the word has become political anathema has nothing to do with the depth of it's true offence, rather, it's mostly about the preformative aspects of morality.
People are offended by little things, and now we've enabled them to implicate others with a kind of moral judgment.
It's the new Blasphemy laws of the Left.
"The children told us you said what about Jesus? Heathen!!"
