Careful now…
When I was 10 or so my cousins and I put a basketball hoop in the barn loft after all the hay bales were used for the season. My uncle came up the ladder and told us to be careful or we’d “get a bunch of coons in here playing ball.” I didn’t know that word was a slur at the time, so the image of a bunch of raccoons playing basketball was hilarious to me.
When I was in my 20’s I told that story and everyone just grimaced. Someone had to tell me what he had actually meant.

Came in to post exactly that.

It’s just a trend. There was that time the trend here was to make CCTV pop culture characters stealing things from a Target back room.
Aah, thanks for the response
Amazing

OP, derogatory term. Maybe you aren’t aware?
I got a bit concerned when I saw the title before the image.
