I can see it now. When children are playing in the schoolyard and one of the kids looks native, they're going to say, "you're such a hottentot." Then when they get sent to the principal's office for saying that common word, the principal is going to ask, "you learned that from Mary Poppins, didn't you?" When the news gets out, the parents will show up the school holding pitchforks and signs that say: "ban the word that rhymes with 'hot to trot'" because the word is so disturbing to repeat. The banning of this word is so needed to protect all the hot to trots that exist, and I'm glad the people responsible for the rating system have acknowledged that hideously racist commonly spoken word.
