Changing a c to a k does not prevent a casual users passing by from assuming you are making a racial slur.

I really don't buy that anyone who intentionally uses one slur is accidently using the second, for that matter.

Maybe you could make you name some variation of "Racoon" if you want to be specific and avoid any fallout. another valid point. You can always change your username on the wiki.
