Eh, yes and no.

I have white, Hispanic and Asian friends that call me nig/****a/****er all the time, but they do so in a friendy and/or playful manner. For me, its all about intent. I don't get mad when they say the word because they don't mean anything behind it.

If someone were to call me any of those words and I didn't know them, it'd be a whole different story. But again, not even just because of the word itself, because its really disrespectful. The same way it would be disrespectful for someone to use any word to call you outside of your name.

As a black person, I might be slightly more offended by a stranger calling me a ****er as opposed to bitch, pillowbitergot, asshole, etc because, given the history of the word, the person must be REALLY trying to piss me off when using it..
