Interesting question though, is it a no-no for everyone, or do you have
things like The Boondocks, over there too, and other black
entertainment, where the black people use it all the time, but white
people are never supposed to?

Except that for such towns to exist, you kind of need a lot of other
towns around them, and a state, which doesn't precisely condone such
things, but does turn a blind eye to them, because of a general sense
that, "Those buggers might go a wee bit too far, but in general, the
sentiment is right."

I think it's a no-no everywhere. But there's always a few arrogant
self-righteous morons who think they're better than everyone else.
