this may come across as offensive.
but ive been wondering why you can't call blacks "nigger," but you can call queers "fag."

etymologically, "nigger" means "black."
however, "faggot" means "kindling."
you tell me which ought to be more offensive?

Latin classes around the world are needlessly awkward because the Latin word "niger" (which means black) is correctly pronounced identically to "nigger," but society forces us to mispronounce it as "neeg-air"

ie, "Debet et a radiis sideris esse niger:" Ars Amatoria I.724
