Almost all of those are discriptors with no inherent meaning. How you say it can galvanize the word much like if I call you smart as praise vs chuckling and calling you smart sarcaatically, the word goes from compliment to insult.
"Hey that black guy over there is my neighbor" vs. "Ew you live next to a black dude?"
Now tell me when the n word is ever used as a descriptor and not as a way to look down upon someone, often with a dehumanizing component. Normalizing that will always lend fuel for racial tensions.
I grew up in an inner city witg high crime and black crackheads from the projects next door robbed our home 4 times in 3 years. I hated black people as a kid because of it because that was my reality and exposure until we moved out and i realized other truths and had more fair exposure.
I know the statistics ans I agree it's alarming, but people who normalize a word that exudes inferiority, language is a powerful tool. It normalizes a mentality.
Like if people call you any insult. If enough people do it even the new kid in school will call you that because it elevates them and puts you beneath them.
Do you get what i mean about a descriptive term vs an intentionally dehumanizing term.
It spreads tensions and us vs them quite effectively.
Lol. The guy you're talking to has clearly never served. The guys I worked with at the station talked to each other like that but they were alright. They didnt give me any bad vibes at all. Now on the other hand, the guy in the other dorm on base that shared the kitchen/bath gave me bad vibes. You can tell the difference between normal dudes and thugs.
That being said, the it seems mods and shills are working together and anyone that questions what is going on is dishonestly labeled "you just want to use thay word reeeee"
I havent seen the word used here once because we dont, until today. I think the mods are intentionally creating this division using the shills as their tool for justification to paint us all as secret racist boogymen.
