>>80264085>Niggers, like that's a play off niggardly,No it isn't. It's literally just a variant of Negro, which means black.
It's an insult because in the time period where black people were commonly called Niggers, they were considered subhuman animals. So calling someone a Nigger, is like calling them a dog, pig or worm; it is literally dehumanizing, because you are calling them something that is less than human.
With words like Flip, Nip, Chink, Gook, etc. It's somewhat similar, most of them where used in wars or other conflicts to mock and otherize people.
But it's also a product of the modern retarded culture of making all "negative thing" equally bad.
