The funny thing about South Park is that they're usually praised for things like this by the group it would affect while being criticized and called out by the people it doesn't. Another example is The F Word. Also, one of my favorite things about this that I think a lot of people overlook is the detail of the crowd reaction before he says it. They all see the word on the board with the clue and all have the same thought as Randy. The black people all look offended while the white people all look shocked. Randy wasn't the only one who immediately thought that's what it was, he was just the only one in the unfortunate position of having to guess it.

As a non-American it never ceases to amaze me how of all things, the mere pronunciation of a word could be thought as "going too far" Still masterful writing on the topic, I think something like this should be shown in schools

[@SandwichDoctorZ]

If i recall, the whole reason black guys started saying n1gga among each other was so it would no longer control them. I just think if we tip-toe around a single word in our language because of fear of offending black people, doesnt it defeat the point of that? It also strikes me as way more racist when people have told me some version of "hey, careful, if a black guy hears you say the 'n-word', he'll fight you" as it implies they think any black guy would be willing to commit a crime over a word, which is a rhetoric i dont share. I dont assume all black guys think the same either🤷‍♂️😅🤣

[@Lady_Coral]

I completely agree. I understand the reasoning, but it just seems like people are putting even more power over that word

[@Ellefsen97]

@@Lady_CoralI’ve given that reasoning some thought and I share the sentiment, but it’s not up to me, a white Scandinavian, to say how black people should react to a word. But I do believe that the only thing that gives words power is how much taboo we make it. Like when I was a kid, swear words had so much impact because we weren’t allowed to say it. Now everyone around me swears all the time and it’s just another word. But my view on what’s best is irrelevant as I’m not the one it targets

I’ve heard quite a few and maybe I’ve missed something, but when did the racial slurs against white people get banned? Alternatively you could view this episode as a group that has experienced bad, derogatory names, perpetuating that experience and inflicting the same pain on other people. You know, the people that are supposed to “get it” either don’t care or want to intentionally spread more hate. I’ve heard the N-word used in a derogatory manner by black people and also used in a friendly manner by black people. It seems more like it’s not about using the word and more about the color of people using the word. Which would mean the word isn’t offensive alone, otherwise black people would get in trouble over using it.

@@namecomingsoon9517 Usually, slurs get embraced by the targeted party and that tends to take much of the bite out of it. Also, people just need to have thicker skins.

If it crosses the line to harassment, thats when you actually need to pay attention and take action. Words literally cannot directly hurt you unless you let them.

I prefer the latter. I’m Mexican and grew up in a ‘redneck’ white town. My good ol boy white friends would call me every name for Mexican you can think of and I did the same with them.

"You wouldn't undestand unless you have been there" That phrase honestly encapsulates why I hate this episode. You know what understanding a situation you haven't been in is called? BASIC HUMAN EMPATHY. I get the message they were trying to make but to me this episode is just a reminder that we live in an individualist society. Empathy is I feel one of the key elements of what makes us human and the implication that such a thing is unneeded disturbs me.

[@leileyaravencroft]

That’s really naive. Basic human empathy has nothing to do with a word or event that has been the source of a group’s hurt, anger, etc. Just because someone doesn’t understand how a person of a different race, culture, or religion feels about a particular event doesn’t mean they don’t have basic human empathy. It just means they don’t understand. Simple.

Plus they went full hypocrite not even much later, by making the episode where they (straight people) voice gay characters to tell us that it's okay to use the F slur as long as you're referring to people you hate who aren't actually gay as far as you know & they illustrated their point by... parodying the racist murder of a black guy that happened while the episode was being made. And of course a biker couldn't be gay, right? No one gay would... ride a motorcycle. ​ @leileyaravencroft The problem with that is that it only stops a person from 100% understanding it, which Stan never claimed to & Tolkien was just being a little shit about it for the sake of being a little shit about it. If he just said hearing the word upsets him behind there's a long dark degrading history behind it (even though that has nothing to do with the conversation they were having), Stan would've said something like. "Yeah... Yeah, I know. Sorry." because he already knew that. I don't know what it feels like to be waterboarded but I could easily tell you why it's immoral.

Doesn't Asian just referred to the continent of origin? Like European, Middle Easterners, or South Americans. To list a few. And I have no idea how this is exclusive to "American". Also which America? North America, South America, or United States of America? Either way I'm pretty sure they all use the similar naming system for continents and their population. Sure the word "Asian" can be used in a degradatory way. But that applies to the countries and their populations name as well. And, if I'm guessing your logic correctly, you did what you were complaining about. If not worse because you referred to said people in a degradatory way. So idk maybe think about it some more. Instead of just assuming racism when someone/something refered to another person continent of origin instead of country of origin. Idk that's just my two cents
