Soror,
According to the Sociology of Racism, in order for something to be determined as racist, we would have to know the thoughts and intentions behind it. NIGGER is a well known racial slur, but it's use does not entail racism or that one is a racist. Racism is very intentional, so since we can't determine whether or not the mistake was intentional, we can not assume that it was racist. There's the difference, which is why we can not cry racism at every offense. It voids the argument and can dimmenish our credibility.

No insulting would have been Niger Penis or something like that, but NIGGER -- that is a RACIST insult. Intentional or no, I cannot determine but NIGGER is of a racist derogatory nature.
