i guess its how you use the word. ppl have used that word for so long in an offensive way that it is deemed offensive.Quote:

To be honest, I think everyone int he area I live in either frequently says it or has at some point. I just think it's part of common language, but I get the impression from TV and stuff that it's a word no-one actually uses... but then I post this and my original suspicions are confirmed! :P
I activley use it, un offensivlley.
nope. it is generally percieved as a racist term in any manner of speach. i am not racist and i do not want to be seen as being racist, and so do not use the word.
Fair enough.Quote:
