How can I stop my friend from saying the N word ?

My Chinese friend Johnny, uses the N word with an A at the end all the time. I told him he shouldn’t be using that word, especially cuz all the BLM stuff going on. He says stuff like, “why Nlgga” just to piss me off. He said It’s ok for him to say it cuz Americans brought his ppl over from China and used them as slaves to build railroads. He also says it’s ok for him cuz his boyfriend is black (I don’t think he has a black boyfriend, maybe just Grindr hookups) he even makes it a point to bring around any black guy, when we are all hanging out to try and impress us. Once he said the N word in front of the guy he was with, and I could tell he was uncomfortable and wanted to say something. He probably didn’t tho cuz Johnny was gonna blow him, or have sex with him. How can I get through to him that saying that word is bad?

    You have advised your friend and he will not listen to you. The best you can do now is to tell him not to use that language in your presence because you find it insulting and that you do not appreciate it. Every time he uses the word reprove him for it. Say your peace and then be done with it. If he will not take your advice then he will have to learn the hard way. You take care of you and let your friend take care of his own self. It will not profit you to worry about trying to control things that are not in your power to control. Be the best example that you can be with your speech. You are able to control your words so use this gift wisely.

    If you aren't a troll, which I doubt, tell him that it isn't okay no matter what. Use the word "f@gg0t" as an example. Just because both groups have dealt with problems and discrimination, doesn't mean a black person should say the word and get a pass.
