Quentin Tarantino making characters that say the N word over and over or are involved in erotic foot fetish scenarios and then casting himself to play those characters.

    Tarintino shows the US as it is/was. N-word is a part of that history

    And it's just a weird coincidence that it was the character he wrote for himself.

    He seems more like a guy who never got past the emotional age of 13 than a racist. He probably really loved setting up a situation where he gets to rattle off an edgy, shocking round of nonsense in front of the whole country and giggle as people get offended. Your offense is probably playing into his pleasure more than the particular word he used.

    OK, I'll give you a small benefit of the doubt that "negro" was the common and accepted term, but that was a long time ago. Even still, it literally just means black, so your point is really stupid. You're saying Americans refuse to call them black and only call them black. It's stupid as fuck.

    Also, for the "negroid race" thing, race is made up. Black is almost certainly more accurate than that shit.

    Finally, one last thing, calling people black is far from an American thing. It's the norm around the world (using the native language's word for black usually).
