me and my boyfriend call each other that all the time, i think it's ok when your just joking around with people you know. but i wouldn't go out to the street and say "he nigga what's up?" i know for a fact i would be shot.
i dont, i hear my uncles call each other tht all the time. but i guess it depends where you live too. where i live there's not alot of black or mexican.
i use it all the time. sometimes i'm so attatched to that word, that it comes out even when i dont mean to say it. I only use it with my close friends/families though ofcourse. hehehe
for me...if someone uses it as a joking greeting then yes i'll greet them back that way too...but otherwise i dont like using that word..cause i know people dont like being called nigga just like chink...
Hehhehe... I don't know if I'm just a very sensitive person but I try not to use any sensitive words like that. Some of my African American friends don't mind but still I don't use it. I'd rather play it safe because I hate it when people call "asian babe" even though it isn't offensive. I respect people by watching my vocabulary unless I know them personally then I might blurt it out as a joke.
