I just think it isn't fair that black people can use the word and it's OK and white people can't. If the word is unacceptable nobody should be allowed to use it. White, black, asian... whatever.

I wonder if Charley would have been thrown out if she said the word to a fellow black housemate?

I get called a Paddy on a regular basis here, but that's never deemed unacceptable. When I could actually take offence to it.

Well said totally agree
