I think it would be the best possible idea to avoid using the word 'coon,' *especially* if you just mean to talk about raccoons, *because* of all the ways the word has been used to denigrate Black people throughout American history. I think it's far, far better to lose the use of a convenient abbreviation than to accidentally trip and swallow one's own foot.
