I think that asians don't have nearly the history behind their racial slurs that blacks do. Blacks were historically called Niggers to remind them that they were Sub-human. That word was used as the battle cry for slavery. It was used to such effect that blacks began to believe that they were worthless. As black people gained rights and education that word slowly faded out of favor. Now when a white person uses that word it's a little reminder that nothing has changed in their eyes.
I personally never allow anyone to use that word, because I feel that owe it to both my anecestors and decendants to make sure that everyone knows that it is not ok to trivalize that struggle.
