Im British and married to an american, I often say raciest things just cos americans seem to get so offended by them. I say it about anyone and anything just to get a reaction from her. Its funny, I think British people dont make such a big deal about it and its not such an issue. Im sure there not really racist people they just wanted a reaction from you.


The amount of ignorance in this post dumbfounds me. Racism isnt about British or American. You call a black person a Ni**er I dont give a shit what country they are from its gonna piss them off. I run into this stuff all the time at work, ppl who dont understand it or are ignorant to racism just randomly blurting out ni**er in not so funny jokes or just as a way to reference someone who is black. Of course them thinking because i'm white its "ok". not realizing my daughter is bi-racial and is half black.  Its not "cool" to be racist for the hell of it, or on the internet cause there is no consequences. If you wouldnt say the shit to that persons face then dont do it online. /endrant

 

not really as the origin and use of the word is more popular some place than other places in the world.

 

for example where there aren't any negroid people like china,when they see american hip-hop songs mentioning it and glorifing it,they think of it as COOL.

the same way for other people,you can't just shut people up.they can say whatever they want to.

 

its racism itself that a black man can call another black man nigger but a white,asian man can't call him with the same name.

till the time somebody keeps on glorifying it,the word will keep coming up

 

racism is just as common as any other type of discrimination,just that people pay too much heed to it
