when a word is indeed "not inherently [an] insult", but is a de facto one for millions of people, I'm not clear what is gained by pointing out dictionary definitions or alternative reactions to the term.

Its clear that it wasn't an insult because I said so multiple times specifically to clear up any ambiguity. That’s the point.
