::: This is a really sensitive subject, but George definitely ''seems'' in the wrong here. It does appear to be a word used negatively. I do not understand why George reverted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Madrasi&oldid=965927440 a very constructive edit] to the page. There are numerous sources there which clearly state that the word is used, pejoratively, to make generalisations about a large group of people. The word is not a demonym anymore, and the revert made the page actively worse. Best to defer to local sources in this particular case, especially ones which highlight a CEO of [[Infosys|a pretty big company]] being in trouble because they used the word. Similarly, the earliest edit on this talk page mentions that it is a slur. It’s definitely a slur.

::::It is being blown out of proportion by those who are not reliable sources on this subject. An allegation on a CEO on this 100s years old subject violates both [[WP:BLP]] and [[WP:UNDUE]]. Scholarly sources only say that "Madrassi" is an outdated denonymn. Unless they state it otherwise there is no need to engage in revisionism.
