OP..
No non-Black has a universal pass to say the n-word.
We need to dead the perception that California Blacks give all season passes to non-Blacks to use that word.
BUT ..
There are situations where individual Blacks give personal passes to their non-Black homies due to the level of rapport they have towards one another.
You may have a non-Black who grew up around Black people, gained Black friends or a few may have joined a gang and adopted the language/slang of the group.
In that case, non-Blacks may get a pass, but it is ONLY from their homies, not strangers.
So no, Asians do NOT get a pass and typically the ones who is using that word is involved in the streets. The majority of Asians don't even fukk with Black people like that, especially where I live. They are either in their own enclaves, communities or they intermingle with white folks.
So, in that case, they get treated like white people when it comes to the n-word and will get checked by someone if they use it.
