Words and phrases change over time as they acquire new meanings and become laden with new baggage from use. Slang in particular can quickly turn from being descriptive to being outright hateful. I was talking about some shithead who I described as being an n'wah, and another person took great offense to it. It's not a nice phrase, but it's certainly not on the order of calling someone a "fetcher" a "lizard" or even a "snowback." I'd liken it to calling someone a "s'wit" or "milk drinker." Has the language shifted in the past decade? Have Ulfric and his stormcloaks managed to make "n'wah" a word that's only for old white nords?

Today I was behind a car with a bumper sticker that said, "Smoke Skooma & Worship Daedra." No really, that was a thing that actually happened. I was a little embarrassed to have gotten the joke. And then this thread was here.

According to this institutional power definition, it is not possible in Morrowind for Dunmer to be "racist". Yes we have a Dunmer duke, and a few second/third generation Dunmer leaders in majority Dunmer areas, but Dunmer and people of color do not have institutionalized power, established over centuries, to impose their prejudices and preferences on the majority culture.
