He called me a "N-----": online poker.

"That said, many people find this word, and others like it, extremely offensive."

Im not doubting that it is a highly offesive word, but should it be?

I dont think so. I mean its not the slave trade days and the 60's are over, the word just doesnt hold the same meaning in my opinion. And for a white person to call another white person a n*gger is just hilarious and just goes to show that the word has lost its degrading meaning, and the fact that he was offended by it is even more hilarious in my opinion. Now the canadian remark is another story, thats is something to be offended by I guess although its not such a big deal to work yourself up in a tissy (not saying he did) and it certainly is not a racist comment.
