BTF INVESTIGATION

[Nikhil]

We have received reports of a member that has decided to use a racial epithet within his/her name. We are on the task and committed to making BTF equal and friendly. We do not tolerate such things.

YES!
when i saw it, man...that was weird

 

[HarmanSingh]

Is there an investigation into someone using the same exact racial epithet in the DDA results thread? Because mods just ignored that...

What if you're of African American descent, would it be okay to use the term?

Because here in Cleveland and I'm sure elsewhere too, it's acceptable to say if you're black.

K,

There has been very lengthy discussions regarding the use of the term already on BTF...hahaha...it got pretty heated from what I remember.

Though possibly acceptable from region to region depending on what race the speaker is...we here at BTF shouldn't be promoting the use of it, esp since there could be really young, impressionable bhangra dancers who read these posts...

which n word eh.. nah seriously I'm half Black and none of the people on my team say that word... it just depends on who you are if they did say it i wouldn't mind and take it to offense. There is a big difference between saying nigger and nigga im my opinion. It's just a real touchy subject to some........Best advice is just dont say it....
