Dissenting opinion. I like the word niggle when used correctly.
I am reminded of the person who was fired for using the word niggardly in a public address.
Niggard is not a racist term.
Speaking only as an oler white guy, I don't see how you could use any word with the first 6 letters in that phrase and not call it racist.

Sorry. If a word contains the "N" word as its base, it is going to be considered racist (no matter how you spell it or what it really means in the dictionary).

The etimology of that word almost certainly has racist origins no matter how you define it currently.

Sounds like the term of endearment I heard the mother of a boy with autism call her son Nigel. HHMM? Can we not avoid the stupidity? Racism lives as long as we fight over it. Get over it and be people. There will be none when we stop acknowledging it.

Niggard is an archaic term for cheapskate. Tell me how that has any racial/bigoted content.
