Not sure why you’ve received the downvotes, especially in a sub that’s usually a little bit more in-tune with checking themselves for that kind of language.

Because it sounds like I'm vaguely defending the moron in the car and this sub currently has an absolute hatred of anyone in a car (with some justification). The only acceptable response is to vocally attack anyone driving a car and mine didn't do that.

It's also because the term is so widely used that I suspect a lot of people don't realize it has racist origins.
