You clearly feel very strong about this issue, your knowledge of sociology is obviously amazing and you seem desperate to use such a fun and exciting word as the "N word". So please, why don't you quit bitching and moaning about spotty and ginger people being insulted and go and call the next black person you dislike the "N word". I hope it works out well for you.

To get back on topic; Xbox Live, just like the internet, is a haven for neanderthals who act like they're anonymous. As the common demographic for Xbox Live is young white males, some seem to see it as an outlet for aggression against those who don't fit.
Open your eyes, even in college i was seeing cases of the N word being used between coloured people, completely inoffensively. In fact, my friend, Nath, let us call it him as it didn't bother him. His family chose to make the word normal and as such he's not insulted by it in the slightest, out of respect we let him call us "whities" A good laugh was had by all the first time the tutor heard THAT discussion.
