Idrk tbh, I honestly would not because there are some people that are not a poc and may find it “offensive” in some way. Or find a way to bash you for it.

Negro should be fine since people actually use that term to announce their heritage, especially with spanish speaking communities. But still, negro might still be considered a slur? Like, it’d kinda feel derogatory if a non-black english speaker was saying that. I’m not sure lol

I feel like a good majority of people still consider it derogatory, yeah :? I would never call myself a negro around my nonblack friends or allow any of them to call me negro; but when I’m with my black friends, hello, yes I am your negress queen thank you 
That might be controversial though skskks

Even though its a black character, it makes me pretty uncomfortable to see that word used in an Episode story tbh 
“negro” is still a pejorative word that during the slave trade, refers directly to African people and their slave status so I don’t see a big difference, although some have reappropriated it in a better way. But you do you tho!

Per the google doc linked in this post
You can’t use slurs in Episode stories, even if you belong to the group who has the right to say or reclaim it.

A slur? It’s just slang for a kid/ someone younger than you.

According to google, it’s a slang, not slur. Meaning “someone younger than you” .
According to google: Prison slang. However, it is most often used to refer to young thugs/wannabe thugs or other punky kids.

Tbh, I’ve never heard anyone say jh-t, around me or like in songs, etc. I just never heard someone say it before. Only the N word. Isn’t that a bit weird or normal?
Yeah but someone got called out for saying that and they started saying it’s a slur. I say stuff like that because that’s how I talked but since joining this community had to walk on eggshells about what I say because they seem to think what we say sometimes is a slur. I’m not saying Jh*t is a slur but people kept saying it was so I just didn’t want anyone to say it and get cancelled for it

Gotcha. I can see how people think that, but they’re not the same words. It’s basically like saying shorty.

But I also seen that word used a lot in Harry Potter too (the books)
