That one has me a bit torn because the n-word is used for any black person and obviously meant to hurt them. On the other hand, “the w-word” just means a white guy who dresses and acts like a gangsta rapper from the 90s-00s
Is that offensive? The root of it is, I just don’t know if the actual meaning lessens how offensive it is
I mean, they’re technically calling black people the N word by proxy (it’s meant to essentially be white + N word to refer to a white guy pretending to be/acting black). So it seems like a case of “if you’re not black you probably shouldn’t say it”.

so does digger get a pass because it has context? Or how does this work?
What would the D even stand for? 🤔
who knows, follows the same construction as the other two though.
No I don’t think people who use the word “digger” are specifically and purposefully altering the N word and directly referencing it.
