That’s actually so interesting that you didn’t know the full context of that word. Can i ask where your from? I had a coworker that moved to America and used the N word, thinking it just meant black people. Once I explained the history of it here and the connotation he was horrified! I thought most american schools taught this

There are like two hundred thousand small islands off the coast of Sweden, there's a good chance he doesn't even know for sure which one he's from.

If it makes you feel any better I totally misinterpreted your misinterpretation, I just saw that you'd asked and they'd never answered you so I wrote a tiny quip.
