I actually gave it up for a few years, and then I started using it again. So many people in this country are so f’ing stupid, I just went back to using it out of frustration. But at one time, I was more so-called “PC” than I am now. In other words, I was less rude.
I think IH8 actually made me feel guilty about using it at one point but it describes Bushies to a Tee. It was hard not to revert.
