had racist connotations linked to its use during the Second World War.
Ok, so this a case of some tiresome know-nothing-know-it-all digging up some old bit of meangless trivia. You know, I think I might have seen/heard 'spook' used to refer to a black person literally three times in my entire life, and I'm pretty sure one of them was an A. Wyatt Mann cartoon.
Why is this old piece of niche, dead American slang from the 1940's a concern for a theatre in fucking SCOTLAND in 2021? Who the fuck uses it in this manner, and who the fuck uses it with a fucking Y on the end?
The only spook I see here is the spy - the quisling commie bastard behind this subversion.
I'm going to have to start calling my least favorite inanimate objects 'nigger'.
There's a poorly installed cycle gate at my local park that infuriates anyone who tries to get through it on a bike - its two halves have been set into the ground just a few inches too close together for you to get the handlebars of a bike through unlike every other such gate around the park.
Maybe if I write 'The nigger gate' on it in permananent marker pen, other infuriated cyclists will also come to know it as 'the nigger gate', regardless of whether the ink is scrubbed off. Every cyclist will know precisely why it's 'the nigger gate', making the only true way to get rid of 'the nigger gate' will be to fix it or remove it entirely.
Spooky... a... racial slur?
A slur against who? The fucking undead?
Let me read the fucking article.... ....

I don't watch movies made this century.
If it's directed by Clint Eastwood it's safe.
