So when did GGG become very strict with chat?

Either way, the N word is almost universally reviled now, and for obvious reasons. If you don't know them, do a little research. The association with slave culture and oppression, not to mention the fact that certain sheet-wearing good ol' boys love to throw it around, is pretty much all you need to know. There is some argument that the alternate spell ending 'ggas' rather than 'ggers' represents the appropriation of the word by African American culture, but this is neither the time nor the place for such a discussion. For the purpose of moderation, you'd be wise to just not use slang for any race or culture, period.

edit 2. So the N-word is considered hate speach because it is so in USA. What about "black"?

Where I come from black is considered the inappropriate one and the n-word is the more correct one.

Neither are particularly pleasant terms these days. This relates to a discussion we had in Off-Topic recently regarding the word 'retarded'. It is absolutely unacceptable to call a person a 'retard' (noun) but the word still has perfectly legitimate usage as an adjective or verb ('his learning has been retarded'). I'd say it's much less offensive to say 'he is black' (adjective) than 'he is a black' (noun). Not entirely sure why, but the latter just looks ignorant and dismissive. Being Chinese, I'd probably say it's similar to 'I am Chinese' vs 'I'm a Chinaman'.

Well I have autism ,so every time someone calls me retarded or something I do retarded , is that not hatespeech ?


Since I am likely doing something retardedly due to my autism which is a form of social retardation it would only seem fair to mute anyone who uses it .
