[Ads-l] "Felicia"?

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

I'm not sure if it was used as an ethnic slur, but it certainly expressed insensitivity . See http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bye-Felicia<http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bye-felicia>

which begins by saying '"Bye Felicia" is a memorable quote from the 1995 comedy film Friday, which is often used online as a dismissive farewell.'

Further details follow, including the relevant profanity-laced dialogue that produced the expression.

At one point anchor Robin Roberts said, "Bye Felicia".  My wife said it sounded to her like an ethnic slur.  Was it?
