That's... an unfortunate double standard.

I'm extremely PC (and proud of that), and I know that people who study race relations and all that jazz will say that "nigger" is offensive no matter who uses it. I also know some black people who say "nigger" to each other and degrade each other, and that when a person of another race uses it, they freak out.

It's not right, period.
