Should the word 'niggard' be revised?

Niggard - a stingy or ungenerous person. USAGE This word, along with its adverbial form niggardly, should be used with caution. Owing to the sound similarity to the highly inflammatory racial epithet 'n***er', these words can cause unnecessary confusion and unintentional offense.
