I had an African American liturature class where we did a lot of reading out loud. You can't escape the word nigger in such a class. The teacher took a survey and a small number of students said that mot only would they be uncomfortable reading the word out loud, but they would be uncomfortable hearing the word said out loud. We just left a blank when reading the material in class. I think that it did the material a disservice. The readings were easily the most profound and thought provoking works I've ever been exposed to in q classroom setting. I talked to the teacher about it outside of class and she shrugged it off. It was just how it was.
