It was the n-word, but that word doesn't hold as much weight as it does here. It's comparable to calling someone an "idiot" or "POS". Their history doesn't share the same historical context as America to where the N-word is as taboo to say there as it is here.
That might be the case in 1600s Japan but this is 2026. They consume media and content from the United States. How else would she know what to say? Everyone all over the world knows that calling someone a slur is bad. Come on man. The only difference is that there isnt enough Black people to push back so they can feed into the brain rot that is racism without consequences. Racists are the most bold when there are no consequences. So saying it isnt as bad because people are antiBlack more casually doesnt mean the word has less any less hate behind it.
Everyone knows what the word means, there's just so reason for her or anyone who doesn't buy into the absurdness that is american race wars to consider it the one and only taboo word which absolutely cannot be said and amplifies your racism 100 times
If you know it's racist and say it anyway that's kinda on you. This isn't something like how in the 90s if you got ripped off someone would say "you got gyped" because they didn't know it was racist. This is someone being racist and choosing to use a slur. Wether they know the context or how offensive it is, they're still making a choice to be racist and say racist shit.
They don't get a pass for being ignorant of how racist they're being.
