Is this a racist term?

Asked by brownlemur (4086points) June 13th, 2008

I hear people use the word “yessum” as a contraction for “yes ma’am.” I feel like this word has some racist or at least negative connotations. I looked it up on the interwebs but I haven’t come across anything conclusive. Your thoughts?
