In my english class we're currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird. If you didn't know, it's a novel based in the south in... the 30's or something. And they use the "N word" a lot. I was wondering if it offends you when you read stuff like that. I guess it makes the characters seem more realistic, but still.

I don't say it.
I hate it when other people say it. That's it. |
