A divided population is powerless. Neo-liberal social politics are intended to disempower the public through factionalization. Divide-and-conquer is a simple enough concept for anyone to understand.

They have succeeded in sensitizing you to a new word. You'll notice that the black and mixed-race people here have said repeatedly that they didn't even know that they were supposed to be offended by the word "negro." You're being conditioned to be offended.
but why did Ken say it again, after he was already warned by big brother, and after Alexander had already told him that he was offended by it. Alexander explained it to him in the most forgiving manner possible. Alexander was clearly offended, but he reacted in a calm cool and collected manner and explained it calmly and with some humor.

I can accept that maybe the word is not as well known in the UK as an offensive term, but he was told twice not to use it, both by big brother and Alexander, and then he went on to use it again.

Just like when it came to women, it was explained him by both big brother, and the women in the house that what he was saying was offensive, and then he continued to try to offend them.

He is either completely daft, or he was intentionally being offensive and trying to get kicked out. I think probably both are true.
