Tribe is used in many ways, and most of the time it is not a bad word at all. It describes a kind of social grouping and an approach to understanding kinship among many historic and contemporary groups of indigenous peoples. But the word can be used in a derrogatory sense because it is often associated (wrongly) with ancient and sometimes primitive or unsophisticated development. Don't use this or any culturally charged word to insult or degrade anyone. If you do, you are only showing how primitive and unsophisticated you are.

Referring to a group of people as a "tribe" can be seen as outdated and insensitive because it can perpetuate stereotypes and disregard the diversity and complexity of different cultures and communities. Using more specific and respectful terms to describe groups of people is generally preferred.

Is Saying Bad words possible?
It depends on what you mean by "possible." If you mean "is it a good thing to do?" the answer is usually no. In fact, if you are young, you will get in trouble for saying certain words. But if you are asking "do people say bad words?" the answer is that many people do, even if they know they should not. The truth is that every language has bad words, and there have been bad words throughout history. People were always told not to say these words, but at one time or other, many people did say them. There used to be laws against swearing or cursing, but today saying bad words is not against the law-- it's just considered rude in a number of circumstances. You would not want to say bad words to your teacher or during a job interview, for example.
