Words like "fuck" or "shit" will get you some unapproving
glances in polite company, but "nigger" will get you dragged into the HR office. Why? Because someone decided to create a taboo, and it gave the word undue
power. "Hitler" (and "fascist") are not there yet, and people have been using
those words forever to try to make some sort of shock-attention point.
