As a non American living in Europe , I always wanted to know something about the nword thingy . Like you mentioned , I see lots of people say that maybe Latinos can say the word because they were also slaves and struggle the same as black people . As it seems you also don ' t have a clear view about whether Asians should say it or nah , you also again mentioned the struggle . But your mind is made up when it comes to white people . Is the word really about the struggle or about color ? Cause I mean we Greeks were slaves for 400 years but we technically white we sun tanned cause we kind of mixed but whatever , you get the point . It ' s just that I always thought it was because of slavery and racial differences that white people shouldn ' t say the nword but then I see lots of people adding the struggle into this whole thing and I as an outsider , I don ' t really get it .
