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.

It's okay, because it's in keeping with the time period. Actually, our History teacher is allowing us to use the n-word (although I don't really plan to) in these plays we're doing in class. I'd feel awkward using it in front of people.
