    You are allowed, just not to American black people as an insult :)

    You probably just shouldn’t but the history of the word is on your side.

    The n-word was applied to Indians and anyone dark enough by the British. Americans made it solely an African thing but if you read Victorian era British authors they’ll use against anyone brown. Kipling’s stories are notorious for him going along and just dropping random n-words about Indian characters in otherwise pleasant circumstances.
