PSA: If you're not Black, stop saying the N-word
This past September, I unexpectedly met Gina Rodriguez in Toronto. It was my friend’s birthday and on a last-minute whim we decided to hit up a nightclub. As we waited outside in the long entry line, we noticed Rodriguez and her group of friends entering the club. In disbelief, I walked up to her and gave a loud, drunken speech about her undeniable acting talent and the positive impact of her show, Jane the Virgin.
For some people, Rodriguez made a mistake that was easily forgivable: She herself is a racialized woman. She didn’t say the word with a hard -er ending. And she apologized later the same day. For others, it was unforgivable. In my personal life, I have unfriended several non-Black “friends” and their enablers for using the N-word. These ex-friends are people of colour who are not Black. They—like many other POC who use the N-word—believe that because they are not white, they should get a free pass to say the word. And, trust me, they defend that right.
