I'm writing up an 'Agent' archetype for my next game supplement, so players can take on the role of a government spy (where the government is mostly privatized and under the thumb of the mega-corps). I'd prefer to call the archetype 'Spook' - which is a colloquialism for a spy - but it's also an old derogatory slur for a black person.
I know there are plenty of forum-goers here from all over the US and world. Has anyone ever heard 'spook' spoken as a slur? Has that gone out of fashion as derogatory?
(Side note: in its current rough layout, the supplement has several black character models. I also have a good black model for the 'Agent' but I wouldn't feel comfortable using his image if I do go with 'Spook' for the archetype name.)
Thoughts?

"Spook" - still too racist?
