Wait, ... do people of color consider "hysterical" to be a racist word now?

I know that you consider it a racist word. But I do not consider it a racist word. I doubt many people consider it racist.

Yet another bizarre swing of the discussion ... incoming from Pluto.
And no, I do not consider "hysterical" to be a racist word either. I will try to remember to ask my Black and Hispanic friends about this the next time I see them.
??? This discussion is getting a little hard to comprehend. Please, please, tell me how the word is racist. Sorry, you can't use the word's root - that has already been claimed by the sexist faction. Can words have dual roots? If so, well I guess it's OK to go dig up it's sibling racist root and point that out to me.
