Sigh.
Pardon my French, but I hate this shit.![Mad :mad: :mad:](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png)
Nevertheless, I suppose I need to check <grumble>![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png)
OK, so, as we now live in the most entitled, ridiculous and yet wildly uninformed and uneducated period of human history, I have to ask: Is the word "Swarthy" a pejorative?
I say, quite emphatically, no. Its a perfectly good descriptive of darker skinned people who are not deeply pigmented enough to be called black. In fact, it seems to generally be used in a positive way, as in to describe a certain look about a man who is dusky and attractive.
But what do I know? I'm white. We know nothing, apparently.![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png)
Anyway: thoughts?![Big Grin :D :D](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png)
