Yeah, and we do afaik. There was one black kid in my school (adopted from India by Irish parents) and we always called him a nigger and the like. Actually a sound enough lad. And there’s an Irish thing loads of us do in college where we go to the US for four months on our summer holidays as a working holiday on a J1 visa. I went to Chicago with a load of Irish mates and there was a black guy lived near us we hung around with a bit - every single of one of us addressed him a “my nigga” in a black American accent. Think US wokeness has infected younger generations a bit but we were never shy about calling a spade a spade (literally!) and I’m in my 30s so not that auld yet.
