******* is not an expletive! It is a perfectly good anthropological term!?

Update:

That's n egroid for those of you in the home audience! Yahoo!Answers does not seem to like the term!

    Some people are simply too stupid to understand linguistic differences. N.egroid, n.egro & ******* are 3 very different words (only the 3rd is actually an insult, [if] used as such being a corruption of the 2nd). Sadly the people who programmed Yahoo Answers seem to have been in that stupid group.

    Expletives are anyway very much a thing of how people want to understand words. Insults lie very much in the eye of the beholder, i.e. the insulted.

    Look it's very related to the enslavement...

    If it was the other way around, it would've been the white people who would be super sensitive about their color, and when the world starts to abolish their slavery and it becomes looked down upon by the collective mind and the mainstream, every term that refers to the whites will be viewed as derogatory.
