After reading the link you sent me I have all of the information I need, but in the spirit of scientific enquiry if you have an address for him I will ask. Thank youUncle Pug:Perhaps an email to George would get you his personal view on how the term came into being.
Be sure to include this in your email and you will get a much more interesting response to share with your students:
"any disparaging term used in conjunction with a human being is a form of de-humanization, a psychological mechanism human beings use to justify less than nice behavior towards another."
