The word "nigger" is a highly derogatory and offensive term for individuals of African descent. It has been used historically to dehumanize and discriminate against black people, and its use is widely considered hate speech.
The notion that the word simply means cheap is incorrect and oversimplified. The origins of the term are rooted in the transatlantic slave trade, where it was used to refer to people of African descent who were forcibly brought to the Americas to be enslaved. The word is deeply connected to the history of racism, discrimination, and prejudice that Black people have faced throughout history, including during the era of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and other racially biased systems.
Overall, using this word can promote hurtful and negative stereotypes and contribute to ongoing discrimination and marginalization of Black individuals. Therefore, it is crucial to use language that is respectful and inclusive and does not contribute to negative stereotypes or perpetuate discrimination towards any group of individuals.
