Nigger is not a word you hear often anymore, even from such old people (more than 80).
I hear it on a regular basis, mostly from old people as well. I don't know how things with racisim in France are, other than the religious differences, but that's a whole new can of worms...sorry, I dirgressed. Anyhow, where I live it's pretty much every day when I hear that word. Not surprisingly my area is 98.2% White Non-Hispanic.
I think it's just as rude for people to say, "shvartze". One person said to me, "But it means black!" True, but I just feel that it has a negative connotation. Plus, why is it even necessary to describe someone by the colour of their skin?
