They are too busy calling each other their own derogatory names like beaner
No they ain't. They say "nikka" more than black folks, keep it 100.
African Americans only do this...WHY?

The word is hilarious. The meaning & significance of words change over time.
Example: Having a "gay old time" has an entirely different meaning circa 2015 than it had in the roaring 20s.
Fvck what racists were calling us & focus on what they were doing.
Well that makes it okay then!
Would you argue the word would not be anywhere near as relevant had hip hop not exploited it for money?

Never said it was ok, just calling out the OP's false statement that ONLY african american people call each other words that were initially used as slurs. And to your second point, that is neither here nor there. Black people have called each other ******s for hundreds of years way before Hip Hop due to internalized hate and other feelings of inferiority reinforced by white supremacy. Rap didn't start that shyt. Similarly it's not even like white people would have stopped referring to us as ******s at any point either if it wasn't for rap. Even in other countries such as Haiti it is extremely common for people to call each other the kreyol equivalent of the word ****** (neg) as a term of endearment and that ain't no fault of rap music. It all stems from white supremacy
Yes they are.
They call each other beaner right in front of me.
I'm sure some do, but the majority do not. I was born and raised in AZ which is basically Mexico. I'm surrounded by Mexicans, grew up around them and never heard one say "spic" or "beaner". They sure love throwing around the word "nikka" though thinking they black.

were any of these people enslaved for hundreds of years and dehumanised by those words?
As a whole, have you heard more Mexicans saying "nikka" or using "beaner" & "spic"?
This is interesting to me because not once have I witnessed them calling each other their own ethnic slurs.

Doesnt matter which is more. These are mexicans from different areas, including from the border calling each other beaner and spic which means its collectively.As a whole, have you heard more Mexicans saying "nikka" or using "beaner" & "spic"?

Read the thread again.
I've read the thread, OP was saying that only AA's do this which isn't true, I agree. But it is true to the extent at which we do it.
When the whole world is callin us nikkas and we're doing the same thing, that's a problem.
