the funny thing with that word is it's not even whitey's fault. it comes from the word negro, which means black in spanish and through normalisation you get negros, which sounds plural, so singular you change the ros to er, which becomes negger--which is why mexicans and the south still pronounce it this way. it just means black person. here we say black fella--which is essentially the same, but doesn't make our black people chimp out. they just understand it to be an astute observation. they call us white fellas and we also don't care. maybe your black people are fragile?
