Its nowhere near the same thing. Not even close...

Comparable would be using the N word to describe your black friend to their face (something LOTS of white people do) as both that word and *******ot have been reclaimed by the very people it was used against

If you want to get into why then we can but the two words (assuming you are referencing the N word) have totally different social contexts.

It's not about feeling sorry for themselves, it's a matter of respect. Instead of acting like people should have thicker skin, people should just not use that word

I didn't mention anything involving the n-word. I'm just pointing out that your logic that Marc can't even possibly be homophobic because he was friends with the gay guy in the house is the same as saying that someone can't possibly be racist because they have a black friend.
