BBC say the N word

[Merlin5]

19,000 people complained because a reporter quoted exactly what was said which included the n word. Have people really nothing better to do than complain about such a petty thing?

Pathetic. But I'm suprised the beeb actually said it. I would imagine if it was the the F or C bomb, they would have censored it.

I agree it would have been more sensible not to say the word if only to prevent the no life moaners from writing in. But it's not as if the beeb was being racist, they were just telling what was said by someone. It's all about context.

The whole thing about the word is stupid. It's just a slang way of saying negro yet it's been turned into a slur.
