The Harm of Using Derogatory Terms to Refer to People

"Hicky" is a derogatory term that was historically used to refer to people of Irish or Scottish descent. The term is considered offensive and should not be used. It is important to treat all individuals with respect and dignity, regardless of their background or heritage. Using derogatory terms to refer to someone based on their ethnicity or national origin can cause harm and perpetuate negative stereotypes. It is better to use language that is inclusive and respectful of all people.
