The PG 13 Discussion

[pakman]

No it's not ok. You're still saying the same thing, just differently. There are plenty of things that I can say in a different languange that will bypass the swear filters on this board, but won't because I am still saying it. The N-word should not be used at all in a G-reated film, but are we talking Discovery Channel, TLC, and History Channel G-rated? If possible, it must be avoided like the plague, only in certain circumstances do they drop the N-word, say, when quoting someone or studying the etymology. The N-word is always a loaded question as I see it.

So can it be used in historical context, yes, but in extremely limited situations.
