Nigger is a derogatory term used to refer to dark-skinned people, mostly those of Black African ancestry. As an English variant of negro, it was once in common usage, but in recent times, in most contexts, it is considered a racial slur. However, modern variants such as nigga are used as a synonym for "person" in a controversial effort to reclaim the word for general use. |
