change the title name

Doesn’t the page say it’s offensive? Come on man. Change the title to “N-word” since it is so offensive. Mahal ko si Jesus (talk) 11:08, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Question regarding distinguish hatnote for “Niger State”

Is it really necessary to have a hatnote for Niger State as I’m pretty sure one can tell the difference between the two terms. There is no such term or article called “Nigger State” either so I don’t think it is necessary to include that. --Prothe1st-- 12:16, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

At least with my accent, one has to very carefully enunciate to distinguish "Niger" from said slur. There's also the spelling being only one letter off. Also, if the note includes "Niger", there is no reason not to include "Niger State". Sumanuil. (talk to me) 01:01, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
@Proth1stl: Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there without your understanding, and they have to be told. This article and that of Niger are protected for a reason. The etymology of “niggard” is another perennial sore spot. We’re here to educate. Acroterion (talk) 01:13, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
