No. Nigger is an epithet roundly accepted and understood as a derogatory term reserved for humans of african descent. My MIL uses this 'nigger is a generic term' reasoning too. Problem is, regardless of it's generic merits, using it immediately reinforces the common understanding. Ignoring this understanding doesn't make one a wordsmith...it only makes one callous to reality.

My eldest got into a schoolyard fistfight over this insensitive usage of a not-so-unambiguous term. I was the first to not castigate him.

The word should be anethema to all.
