I am only going to be expanding on your discussion of the N-word specifically, and not the larger discussion. While the N-word is abominable in English, because the word for black in a lot of languages came from the Latin word "nigreos", a lot of languages have words that sound like the N-word but are not. The word just means the color black. That's just the etymology of the Latin word. If you have personal experience living in those areas then I'll definitely add more weight to your comment, because I haven't.

While I understand the similarity with the latin languages, as it shares that origin, it is its own word. The actual word is being used, not words that sound alike, as it was exported by colonial powers. I don't have to have lived there to be aware of its use. Hell, anyone that read the post is now aware, there wasn't any confusion as to what was stated in the peace corps document.
