The word itself isn't magic, and the circumscription doesn't make much sense when referring to it. Using it outside of quotation marks - that is, using the word rather than referring to the word - is extremely bad form. And the thing with quotation marks is that they're kind of hard to pronounce.

That is the truth of my real views on race. Racists absolutely are necessary to preserve ethnic diversity, they prevent any of the different skin colors from becoming extinct.

All language has become offensive to someone. So I have no problem saying nigger or anything else because there isn't a discernible line between offensive and unoffensive anymore.

Then don't use it against people who find it offensive.

It's that easy.
