Another PC issue is that people are seemingly afraid of saying or writing "nigger", even when the word isn't thrown at anybody but merely talked about. It's just like when people use the term "four-letter-words" when they're talking about foul language or the fact that said words are edited out of American TV shows.
It's strange to think there are words you can't use in a context where it's made clear you condemn everything they stand for. Along with several others of your significant PC issues, this is something which is difficult to understand from an outsider perspective.

I understand your point completely, and in theory I agree with you. However, that word is one of the very few (if not the only) word(s) I will not say. It just sounds dirty in my mouth. I don't like the word.. I also avoid using the word "abaft" (behind in Naval termonology) because I don't like the way that it sounds.
I suppose I could rationalize it with "the only purpose the word serves is negative (even when referring to it out of context, you're referring to the word that is used negatively) blah blah." Really, I just don't like the word.
Good call, though :-)

You guys realize that wigger is just nigger with the N being replaced by a W.
How is it not ok to call a black person a nigger, but it is ok to call a white person who "acts black" a wigger? Wigger is more of an insult to black people than it is to whites because it implies that they are "acting beneath" themselves.

I know, but I don't think white kids should be forced to redefine themselves racially just because they choose to act or talk in a certain way.

The racist undertones in this thread are alarming.
