I think, for those that know you or are familiar with you, that most know that you are the last person who would have done or said something racist with the intent to be hurtful. You strove to be as authentic as possible in your writing of the time period, and it had unfortunate consequences. You are to be applauded for so graciously stepping up and saying "I made a mistake using the term, I am sorry and never meant to cause harm" (although much more eloquently that how I just put it).
