"nor any *nigger* in at least 50 miles radius"
And the context of the thread was your experienced and observations of American life while there.
So what else can the reference to "niggers" be about? That is an Americanism, long obsolete in British English usage.
Anyway this is exactly why Polverone has banned this sort of OT posting. Is it not?

He's talking about his village in Italy. Let's not start with preemptive strikes shall we?

What was the point of injecting the loaded piithet "nigger" into the post in the first place?
It makes no sense at all in American usage; nor in British usage. The British in times gone by might have used such a word to refer to South Asians,
but not to Arabs (they had and have a different epithet for them.)
So in the context of Arab terrorism it is a non sequitur.
Clearly Sergei does not condone such a hateful epithet, so why use it, particularly inaccurately? I searched for a logical explanation and thought I
found one. If not then so be it.
