2020-09-05 | Controversy over USC professor's use of word sounding like slur - Los Angeles Times

'Marshall School of Business professor Greg Patton was giving a Zoom lesson in his “Communication for Management” class on Aug. 20. '

'Language learners and English speakers have long commented on the similarity in pronunciation between this common Mandarin word and the racial slur in English. '

'The course, a three-week intensive, is part of the core requirements for first-year master’s of business administration students. '

'To some students, the word sounded like the N-word in English. '

'A business professor at USC is no longer teaching his communications course after Black students complained that a Chinese-language example he used during class sounded like a racial slur and harmed their mental health. '

Also niggardly, similar meaning to miserly or parsimonious. It is not a word related to negro or nigger.
