If this were, say, the 70's, I'd totally get it... but it's been over fifty years.

I don't mean to minimize anyone's suffering, especially on a racial level. I just don't understand the sudden offense being taken out of the blue over a term that has been used for, what, a decade or so in this game?

It’s been 70 years since WWII and we don’t support people doing the Roman salute (more infamously known as the Nazi salute) do we? That’s not a good argument to make.
