The N-word is such a touchy topic despite there being differing opinions about the word, going back to the days of slavery. Depending on how the word is said, should rely on context, but most people know that its a derogatory term for something negative about their skin tone, and will take offense if they did not consent to it. Black people use it in rap and even to greet themselves as an alternative to "What's up, dude."

If it is a social construct it means we all have the "N word pass", right?

i know 5 Rasict words and when i get mad i say them a lot (when no one's around of course) also the N word is one of them. also i have issues where i throw fire extinguisher at the ground to provoke people who piss me off (i make sure no one is around to throw it on the ground) also an odd fetish about it i want to see one blow up by throwing it on the ground. yeah i got anger issues but i really don't care about anything right now.

imo, it's something that was completly made-up by society.
For example, "asshole" is a part of a body, but making that an insult is a social construct.
Then everything is a fucking social construct.
Language is a social construct. Politics is a social construct.
The church that got build last year is a social construct.
Racism is a social construct, so I should get the pass, you know what? Fuck the pass... anything goes because everything is made up by society.

well, pretty much, yes.
Social construct can be anything that has been defined/given a meaning by society.
For example, another example, in french, the N-word is "n3gre", but before that, it was "n3gro" which literally means "black"
So, why calling a black person "n3gro" is considered as an insult? You are just saying "black" in another language, right?
Well, the fact that "it is an insult" is a social construct (like pretty much all insults actually)
Religion is a social construct too. Why would anyone believe in God? Because someone (a priest) told you to.
Language being a social construct? Nah, not that far. Languages are just a way to communicate. But if you go by the very definition, we, humans, gave a meaning to words, so it could be considered as a social construct.
well let's shove some social Construct down our throat's shall we?Is Mayonnaise a social construct?
