had a "hey just so you know that username you chose is pronounced the same as a racial slur in my country; do you think you could change it?" moment in a chat channel I moderate. thankfully it was well received.

Maybe it's Eyesaline
@ekaitz_zarraga @technomancy Interesting, it reminds me of Edóuard Siddon's treatise "On Language and Race." Have you read that?

Maybe it's Eyesaline
