Explanation to someone from Germany, who may not have heard the U.S. incident.
​
A fair while back, some public figure used "denigrate" in a public speech. Someone else got all bent out of shape, because they thought the word was derived from the dreaded "N" word. I think the guy may have been forced to resign from his job. Much uproar over much ignorance.
​
I thought that the word that was used was "niggardly."
​
1. Grudging and petty in giving or spending.
2. Meanly small; scanty or meager: left the waiter a niggardly tip.

LOL!

Now, I had forgotten all about that! I would have been suspicious, too.
