No, it's a racial slur with traces back to illegitimate black children from men who owned slaves and children with them. As far as I know. I need to find that Youtube vid that told me so...
It's in the nature of... any type of story, really, to make the characters unhappy. I don't really think it's going to last. So things will be unhappy at Dalton, too, for whatever reason...
