It became about me when I am socially banned from using a word I really have no connection to. Lots of words are hurtful. People find swearing offensive, but I am not banned from saying fuck or shit. But if I say nigga while repeating a rap song I get looked at like I'm immediately a racist for saying the word out loud.
