How do I apply for N word approval? Though I have little reason to use -er over -a. Only hicks say -er!

Moreover, note that what makes his post offensive is not that it was a racial joke per se, either. Had he written "koreans these days are as loose as ******* (insert random loose objects here)" or even "koreans these days are as loose as ******* white vags" the post would still have been racial, but not nearly as likely to have provoked the same reaction.

The simple fact is that whereas it is morally innocuous to joke about (say) Asians and whites, it's morally pernicious to joke about blacks. That's why nahneun's post is offensive, and why SF's tolerance for racial jokes about Asians etc. should not lead one to think that there's a general tolerance for all racial jokes.


BB1, is that you?

As long as you end it with 'a' and use it within the context of ****** white-guy wannabe ebonics in a post, and followed by the words 'du', 'swag' or any other word taken from an odd future song, then it's SF approved.

The use of 'er' afterwards is strictly SF not-approved.

Exception: All uses of the word are SF approved if you are a bona fide and verified member of the black community (ditto for any other racial slur if you are a member of the race being referred to in the slur).

Pretty sure the reason you can't use it is bc anyone who idolizes jcrew's ****** clothing must be whiter than white.

Oh, and Desi is an african-american, so he gets a free pass.

Nonetheless, the context of the 'joke' that was made was uncalled for and pretty classless, imo. Seemed like a comment charged with hate rather than something someone said 'fooling' around.

Not a fan of the word in most any form but many of my friends use it as a term or endearment- and when I hear it from anyone, black, white, or other, outside of hip-hop/rap songs, it sounds pretty dumb.
