Rejected petition Ban the use of the term 'gora' which is used as a racist derogatory term for white people in a similar way as the term p♡ki is used

More details

I would like to see the banning of the term gora. This was originaly innocently used to describe a white person by certain asian communities. However its modern day use is far more of a derogatory nature akin to the use of the term p##i and is taken extremely offensively by many ' white' people.
