I always ask taht question, always met with radio silence
A few arguments I've seen :
"First the N word then the R word, when will it end?"
"All bad words should be banned, you either are OK with them all or not with anyone of them, you can't cherry pick which one we should and shouldn't use"
"Racism isn't part of my culture so there is no offense in using it here"
Speaking fo the last argument. I want to share something but apologies in advance if I'm wording this wrong. I'm not secretly trolling but want a different opinion in this matter.
I'm from Kuwait and English is taught as a second language here. One of my friends who is black used the N word while talking to our other black friend, I responded negatively to the use of that word.
I said, "Why use a word that isn't part of our vocab? Why set a barrier that isn't established here? You know that racism isn't a prevalent issue like in the USA.
Is this point fo view flawed?
