In one of the most talked-about controversies so far in the young 2020-2021 school year, a long-time professor at a top-25 business school was replaced in an MBA class he had been teaching for years after students complained that a Chinese word he demonstrated sounded too much like a racial slur in English. But a just-concluded internal investigation has absolved the professor of any wrongdoing, and the school’s dean says it’s time to move on.
After weeks of an internal investigation by USC’s Office for Equity, Equal Opportunity and Title IX (EEO-TIX), however, Patton was found to have erred innocently, as Garrett announced to students and the rest of the Marshall School community in a September 25 email. The EEO-TIX found that “the concerns expressed by students were sincere,†the dean wrote, “but that Professor Patton’s actions did not violate the university’s policy. They have also communicated this to the professor and he allowed me to share their conclusion with you.
“To be clear, Professor Patton was never suspended nor did his status at Marshall change. He is currently teaching in Marshall’s EMBA program and he will continue his regular teaching schedule next semester.
An interesting note, a popular Black YouTuber named laoshu505000 (who seems to have a gift for being able to pick up and speak multiple languages, particulary Asian languages) posted on his channel three years ago about how a certain Chinese word sounded similar to the "N-word."

Thanks for the update. Weeks of investigation? What a waste of time, but at least they didn't cave to idiots who will be problem employees in the years to come.
The % of rap without that word has got to be near zero? Pretty much any rap I hear (and admittedly it's only when out and about because I don't listen to it myself) uses the word. There was a concert locally from a band I had not heard of. Somewhat of a known rap artist I guess. I looked up the lyrics just to get a taste for what he was rapping about. You guessed it. Almost every song I looked up had the word as well as those demeaning to women.
No, not "near zero" avoid using it. A LOT of rap avoids that word, and easily.
