"   If you use words with mixed interpretation in a setting where you do not control the context, you can't cry foul when soemone does not use your own personal definition. It is about being aware that the context others will see is offensive."

Well actually you both have a point. We shouldn't ban users just for having usernames that might possibly offend one oversensitive individual. Otherwise we would have to ban half the wiki because anyone can find anything offensive.

At the same time, Danatblair is right that you should be careful using terms with mixed interpretations, especially in combination, and as he also pointed out the idea that you just innocently combined these two ethnic terms and that it didn't even occur to you that someone might have a more adverse interpretation does seem a little fishy.
