WI: Putin Caught Calling Obama...a name

What Americans ( US citizens ) mostly don't understand is that if they have problem with certain words, because they had Africans as slaves and later as opressed minority, other countries ( mostly ) do not have that same problem- because they had no African slaves/opressed minority, so they are not so sensitive about such terms like Americans are.

Other countries have other words about wich are they sensitive.

On the other hand, I'm sure any politician who would call Obama a "nigger" or something to that effect does know that the word is supposed to cause great offense and probably doesn't mind that. The implications of that particular word are very widely known.

Well, yes, I agree that the most of politicians in the world do know that such a word is forbidden in English language ( especially in the States ). But, if they say something like that ( except if it was something they did not want to say publicly ) it is pretty obvious that it was intended to be an insult, so they will not really care about US reaction.
