Quentin Tarantino making characters that say the N word over and over or are involved in erotic foot fetish scenarios and then casting himself to play those characters.
Tarintino shows the US as it is/was. N-word is a part of that history
And it's just a weird coincidence that it was the character he wrote for himself.
I don’t know his reasoning and I have no idea what kind of person he is, but I’d rather do something uncomfortable than ask someone to do it.

probably just a pragmatic way to save time/$, need a pasty white guy to say N-word...Tarintino about as pasty white as it gets
N=Niger?
"Nigger". Americans refuse to use more standard terminology like "negroid race" or "negros" and prefer just call them just "blacks". Some local racist shit, understandable only to American racists.
Lol, you think black people in the states want to be called "negros" or "negroid?" Lol.
Come on over and try it out on a crowded street. I'll be very excited to video tape for you.
JFC none of those are ok to call black human beings wtf
OK, I'll give you a small benefit of the doubt that "negro" was the common and accepted term, but that was a long time ago. Even still, it literally just means black, so your point is really stupid. You're saying Americans refuse to call them black and only call them black. It's stupid as fuck.
Also, for the "negroid race" thing, race is made up. Black is almost certainly more accurate than that shit.
Finally, one last thing, calling people black is far from an American thing. It's the norm around the world (using the native language's word for black usually).
Applies to all skin shades.
Yeeeeeaaaaahh literally none of those slurs are okay to use
