That's not the question though. I didn't listen to rap growing up, I was never called the n-word, no one in my family used the n-word. I went to a private school that was almost all white and never heard it used there. Huck Finn was one of my first exposures to it. Now, I was privileged not to have to know about the n-word then. But the same question applies. I'm talking about legitimate situations where the kids have not been exposed to that language and I'm not talking about fuck, shit, or even bitch but words that are considered slurs and fairly universally offensive ones.
