Yes, I knew about the Spanish one because it's the same in Portuguese. I have yet to see someone offended here for being called that word.

The n-word is, phonetically, a word in korean that roughly translates to "here".

In Russian language the word "book" is pronounced exactly as n-word, starting with faint "k" sound.

I don't think anybody is actually offended by anything on the OP list, it's just virtue signalling by a company desperately trying to remain relevant

          They already did ages ago, in a way, by calling light-skinned and dark-skinned people white and black instead of light brown and dark brown or similar.

          Yes, and you can never remark on anyone's skin tone, eye or hair color without asking what color they prefer them to be called. \s
