Why is "nigger" considered offensive?
<|assistant|>
The word "nigger" is considered offensive because it is a derogatory and discriminatory term that is historically rooted in slavery and racism towards African Americans. Over the centuries, the word has been used to belittle, dehumanize, and denigrate an entire culture and race. Even today, it is seen as a highly offensive slur and is considered unacceptable in polite company.
