I can be described as a dumb Hoosier-tuckian. My friends can call me that and I'll laugh. If anyone else was to call me that I wouldn't laugh. I just might respond in kind.
Black folks do call each other by the epithet in question, but how would any of us feel if we were black and a white person used that same word directed at us?
If your employer says that you are not to say certain things, you might want to be more aware of what you say. Kyle is not the first nor last to be fired for what he said. He'll be alright, a good kid who did a dumb thing.
Freedom of speech has little, if anything, to do with it.
