I have, but only because I’ve made it a point to learn about American history through contemporary sources. For that matter, I live near the largest remaining KKK organization in the country; as you can imagine, I was exposed to a ton of racist language as a child. That’s a big part of why I spent so much time in early adulthood do historical research. I could probably list more than a dozen racial epithets for Black people that I’ve heard first-hand, but that one in particular isn’t among them.
