Can anyone confirm if the N-word is mostly meaningless in SA?
Seems an odd thing to say to your missus unless you're black and
from the 'hood.

Yeah. It is not really used.
Calling someone a k....r is really offensive.
Also, calling a black person'coloured' will get you into a lot
of bother.

I've been there in recent weeks and didn't hear it once. The
"coloured" point us an interesting one, as not so long ago it
was absolutely fine, but now one has to say "person of colour".
As for the person in question calling his wife "n.....", he's a
person if colour, and it's apparently fine for a person of
colour to say that to a person of colour. Maybe it was his
accent that caused the issue 🤷

The accent seems to be very easily misunderstood. Mr Curry being
on the “white side” was twice misconstrued.

Especially when it's speaking Afrikaans.

I've lost some respect for Ugo. This stuff and the tax
"problems" with his companies lead me to believe that he is not
entirely honest and truthful and that he should keep his head
down for a bit....

Used to be a big fan of Ugo but these days everything he does
seems to have a hidden agenda. Agree, lost a lot of what respect
I had left for him recently.
