I mean, they’re technically calling black people the N word by proxy (it’s mean to essentially be white + N word to refer to a white guy pretending to be/acting black). So it seems like a case of “if you’re not black you probably shouldn’t say it”.

so does digger get a pass because it has context? Or how does this work?

    No I don’t think people who use the word “digger” are specifically and purposefully altering the N word and directly referencing it.
