I'm sure a lot of people will disagree, but I don't give a damn about people using nigger even as a racial slur. So fucking what if someone says it? Are we going to get up in arms about it with literally any other slur? Clearly that answer has been a no, otherwise insults would've died out long ago.

Chink, Guido, Cracker, are all racial slurs that don't get anywhere near the apprehension that people feel compared to nigger. And I'm sure someone will bring up slavery. News flash, turns out that discrimination wasn't exclusive towards black people, nor are they innocent of doing the same thing. Treatment of Irish, Chinese railroaders, and Japanese internment camps are all other examples that happened in the US, just like slavery of black people.

Honestly, so many people avoid that word. Meanwhile they say some other vulgar things themselves without thinking much of it. It's just something that a lot of people are taught at a young age, but never ask why it's that way. Because if you did, you'd have to wonder why its that one specifically while others aren't treated in the same way, despite the history relating to them as well.
