"Whatta maroon?"

Well, perhaps I can understand that as slang. But it begs the question of just what do you think the etymology of that slang phrase might be? We both understand it to be a pejorative, but just how do you think that phrase came into use. You wouldn't suppose that it might be a negative reference to West Indian slaves now would you? Your use and adoption of it speaks volumes about your sensitivity to others.
