Notes & Questions:
1. Does context change your reaction to Werro's statement?
2. Does Werro's apology appear to be genuine? What result do we want when someone uses an offensive term? Is an apology and a commitment to education and inclusion enough? If not, what else is necessary?
3. What of Werro's explanation that he used what he thought was an English translation of a French term that is not derogatory - that "has no pejorative meaning in that language, such as Frenchman or Englishman"? Aside from obviously offensive terms, such as the "N-word," how should people learn about all offensive terms when learning new languages?
