  Comments: 
A term tagged as derogatory should have derogatory glosses (where possible). I think "darkie; golliwog" is fine. The n-word is probably too strong.
I don't think the x-ref to 白んぼ is needed.

  Comments: 
Well, in the end I guess it's up to you to make an "executive decision" if you think including certain words could hurt the project. We do otoh already 
have a ニガー entry. I agree the n-word doesn't really belong here, it's not half as strong as くろんぼ. But I think including "darkie; golliwog" would 
help. We decided after some debate that [ctr] entries should begin with "counter for..." despite them already having the [ctr] tag. One of the 
arguments was that people don't look too closely at the tags. If we accept that argument here, it could lead a beginner to think this was a useful 
synonym to "黒人", or to somebody called this not realized the negative connotations of the word. (and that's without even getting into all the other 
reasons why we try to match register in the first place, like being helpful to translators, etc.)

I have a hard time imagining anybody accusing us of being racist for accurately translating a word that's used in a racist manner.

  Comments: 
Odd, maybe, but this is VERY sensitive topic  in many parts of the Enlish-speaking world. The last thing I want is knee-jerk censorship and pillorying of this whole project because of an attempt to match register. I'm afraid MILF is/was not in the same league as this one.

RP has 普遍性 for "catholicity" but it's probably not a helpful gloss. I don't think "ubiquity" and "omnipresence" are quite right.

  Comments: 
I wrote a whole treatise here, if you'd like to read it, just reject this edit and I'll make the argument.  

"Scott" tried to remove "catholicity" in 2016 at the same time that he noticed a dup with "普偏性".

With an "I'm inclined to agree" from Jim, the dups got merged, but "catholicity" returned. I don't know if this was intentional or not. 

If it was an oversight, then we're all on the same page, and I can save you the time :)

If you like, here's an excellent discussion here with many contrasting views on limited recognition of "small-c catholic" in the English-speaking world(this was all new to me).
