I doubt anyone will be offended because think of the context your using it in, I mean it really isn't derogatory. This isn't to spark argument or say how anyone phrased themself was wrong, but just to question whether putting it down to "n-word" is really even neccesary in this situation.
Edit:
But the way this blown up because of celeb status is just a testatment to how fucked up American society's priorities are, why is this a headline story, when so much more important stuff is going on ??? Then again this is more worthy of media attention than the Britney/K-fed split or any other hollywood hook up/break up story.
And I agree largely with AtSonic Park --- WHO CARES.
This racial shit just seems to persist over and over........

i don't like the word "*igger". i don't feel comfortable saying it or even hearing it. to this day, there are songs that i love but when i hear the "n-word" it makes me a little guilty for liking the song(HOLIDAY IN CAMBODIA & HATE THE POLICE are just a couple examples). i just don't like it personally and i do thank people for not going out of their way just to use the "n-word" just to "shock people" on the board. simple: if you don't need to say it, don't say it. don't say it if you just want to shock people for amusement.
it's not about being "pretentious"...it's about respect.
i dunno, maybe you're more comfortable than the rest of us with the use of the "n-word". if that's the case, then i think the person who needs to question themselves is you.
