    Negro, just means black, but in English it’s a mess.

    Niggardly/niggard predates the racist slur by quite a while but it still has gotten people in trouble for using it. It has completely different roots not in racism. It just sounds too similar for anyone to use.

    Clanker (because LLMs don’t actually have feelings and shouldn’t be anthropomorphized)
