And no I dont buy the whole 'reclaiming the word' crap, its offensive it is absolutely so stop describing yourself as it and others may follow suit

Clearly you don't understand the concept either.

Reclaiming a word is when you take an offensive slur historically used against you, and to try to take some of the 'pain out of the wound' (i can't think of the phrase here but I hope this makes sense to you) by using it as a term of endearment. It makes it so that word cannot be used in a pejorative way against you, because it would simply be a self-descriptor. The word 'queer' is a good example of this, it's even made its way into the sexuality acronym 'LGBTQ'. The meaning was changed from an insult to gay people to a descriptor of those outside the straight/LGBT descriptors of sexuality.

Also just out of curiosity, are you a minority yourself?
