I agree with this.

I think it is all down to the context in which it is used.


A lot of black rappers use the N-word, but they are not racist against other
black people.


The N-word is also used in the TV series 'Roots'. Should we ban this series
forever because of the use of the N-word ?

The N-word is also used in the musical 'Hairspray'. Should we ban this musical forever because of the use of the N-word ?

I think Big Brother ruled correctly and just gave a warning because it could cause offence and told Rodrigo not to do it again.
