 Last night I was going out to dinner with my friends because one of them is moving to the USA for a year. My friend (F24) told us "I will be having a hard time not saying nigger". My friend is not the brightest and I never heard her say that word before in my company. Before I could realize what she said another topic has brought up.

&amp;#x200B;

Later in the car I told my boyfriend (M28) that I was shocked by her saying that. My boyfriend said he thinks "the N-word is a normal word like table and chair". I asked him what he thought about the word "idiot", he said that was NOT a normal word but offensive. He went to the movies earlier that day and saw Green Book, which is about separation from white and black people in public spaces that happend a few decades ago.  


I tried to talk sense to him but he was only offended of words if it offended HIM?!

This all just blows my mind. I just don't understand how they are so ignorant.

Am I overly sensitive and should not be offended by this, is this not my place to feel offended about?  


TL;DR: Found out my friend and boyfriend have no issue saying the N-word and I had no idea my 'friends' are so ignorant.
