Lulzzzz ya I’ve heard outside of Hamburgerland saying the n word is not a big deal at all. Funny how american centric global social media platforms are when 90% of the population that isn’t American doesn’t give a shit. Can understand why using it IN the US is a stupid fucking idea ofc, say that to the wrong person they will beat the shit out of you.

Not true and I suggest you don’t try it in any english speaking countries or you are liable to get your head kicked in.

Yeah? Ok n. Go to China and see how they call black people’s just straight monkeys to their face. Or anywhere that isn’t western. Theyll treat you like literal dirt. Cuz they’ve been programmed to think black = poor/criminal. Maybe if Africa had less warlords they’d be doing better. Or if they hadn’t enslaved their own people to sell to the euros. If you’re black and read this and are mad: you should kick your head in so that we don’t have to deal with your pissy bullshit.

I literally said english speaking countries, genius. I’m also in china right now on holiday and nobody calls black people monkeys to their face. You speak like a white little incel who’s never gotten a passport.

So it sounds like you don’t understand why using it is a stupid fucking idea. It’s not about physical assault, it’s about not being a fucking racist dickhead. Sincerely, not an American.

Are you seriously lecturing me, an american on Lemmy about racism? What country are you from? China? They straight call black people monkeys to their face in China 🤣 tell me what other country gives a shit about racism more. The Nordics? The ones who are swinging hard right now because of migrants? You should really check yourself.

its only an issue here because theres a reason for it to be, people 100% say it with the intention to aggravate ppl or act like they are above them because of their history, I never really thought about how other countries see it lol

Definitely not generally acceptable here in Australia

Absolutely yeah the people who say it in hatred are why it is taboo. It’s just a word. Albeit one with a toxic history

You are allowed, just not to American black people as an insult :)
You probably just shouldn’t but the history of the word is on your side.
The n-word was applied to Indians and anyone dark enough by the British. Americans made it solely an African thing but if you read Victorian era British authors they’ll use against anyone brown. Kipling’s stories are notorious for him going along and just dropping random n-words about Indian characters in otherwise pleasant circumstances.
