It doesnt matter the derivation.

Let's do a little thought experiment.

Let's imagine that a newly discovered tribe deep in the african jungle is discovered.

You and a few other people are the first ones to have any contact with them.

You find them friendly and trusting and generous.

Then one of your number starts saying things like;

"jeez these n1ggers are friendly"

"Look at that n1gger. What's that n1gger doing?"

" geez louise these n1ggers know how to throw a party"

And the african tribe is all smiles because they dont understand the word.

Would YOU be embarrassed?

Would you tell him not to use that word?

Alas for your 'thought experiment'
the word 'N1gger' (1 used for the sake of editing)
was a word 'adopted' by other peoples not from West Africa,
specifically Niger & Nigeria
as taught to them by the people of
Niger & Nigeria.

The use of the word "N1gger" by 'white-Americans'
was used in a vitriolic way during early American 'Political' History
to discredit and demean any 'black' West African,
who by majority
was sent to America as 'slaves' as sold by their own leaders,
because 'slavery' was 'invented' by the West Africans and "popularised" by the various Arab nations, who took it to the world.

Thankfully bands like NWA (N1iggers with Attitude) put the word back into context so African-Americans "own" their own word.

If I was spat the word "Aussie" to demean me in another country, say Chile, then I would find the word 'hurtful' and come to 'resent' the word "Aussie" and eventually (once liberated) find the word a valuable tool to 'empower' myself over the speaker in an act of retribution, etc, etc, etc.

But don't ignore the USA/Western way either.

I believe there are 8 distinct races emerging in the world today so there is 8 right ways to living on this planet. I mean, lets face it. There are Gays and Rednecks Yobbos and Wankers, ...so c'mon pal "Whatareya"
