Straight men are naturally filthy . Duh . <| sep |> If it ' s a part of your cultureethnicity , I ' m fine with it . Race is important in this convo , but it ' s not the only determining factor in whether you shouldcan ' t use the word . There ' s a large intersection between all people of color and many latinx people use the n word all the time , as well as SouthWest Asians Bangladesh , India , UAE . If you ' re black or brown and live in an urban community , I ' d be surprised if you don ' t use the word . BReal from Cypress Hill uses the nword , so does DJ Khaled and DJ Drama . They aren ' t AfricanAmerican or even African , but they are still living and existing within black culture , people communities . It ' s a part of their ethnicity , most def . Then you also have to remember that a lot of people identify solely as latino when they ' re actually afrolatinx , like Dominicans , Mexicans and Puerto Ricans . So , in short , they can also choose to identify as black along with the other aspects of their ethnicity . Kap G from Atlanta doesn ' t use the nword as far as I know ! , but as far as I ' m concerned , he ' s more than welcome to , lol . When a white person argues with you about using the nword , most of the time they ' re misunderstanding or ignoring the differences between race and ethnicity . Race is definitive ethnicity falls along a spectrum . Most white ppl that are of the same ethnicity as black people don ' t use the word because of the connotations that come with it when a white person uses it .
