Why is “n****r” a swear word but “wigger” isnt?

I have alot of white and black friends and whenever we get drunk, etc… the question always arises.

“Wigger” is a recent invention and doesn’t have much history behind it; most people don’t even know what it means, much less take offence.

“N****r” is highly offensive – it has a LONG history of bad connotations, and everyone knows what it means.

I could make up a word, say, “bemble”, and say it means something awful, but if no one else knows it, it’s not considered a bad word. Same deal with “wigger”. Few know it, and even then it’s not very offensive.

It is not a swear word it is a derogatory word that was used to dehumanize and spread a contemptuous attitude because ones skin color or way back their status’s, the root meaning means the same as a mizer as referred in Webster ********* reluctant to give or spend, i don’ have a problem with the word i don’ use when i get mad i call everyone a *** hole all of them are all they same color dookie brown or green i don’t discriminate.
