@SHINeeHunnie The fact that a word is common doesn't automatically make it harmless. Plenty of words and expressions were widely used in the past and were later questioned because of the assumptions or ideas they carried. So for me, the issue is the implication behind it.
I hav nevr been able to separate places from ppl
Whnevr I read the name of a town/street/city in a book,a person instntly comes to mind.If the writer describs a street,I see them walking through it.Kozhikode,Palakkad,Pattambi,Mumbai,Chalakudy,Damoh they all carry someone's name
