A white guy can't use the term nigger, even in jest, because it's not politically correct...a black guy can call a white guy a cracker, honky, etc. It seems that the racial minority gets the nod on this one. That said, we'd be better off if there were no sacred cows. As George Carlin once said, there are no bad words, the only "bad" being an issue of the connotation of the person saying the word.
