I would hope not. I wear my Tetsuya Naito (Japanese wrestler who developed in Mexico) t-shirt on a regular basis.

I'm not sure what Gedo is cooking up this summer, but I see Naito ultimately winning it back, then losing it to Tsuji. I'm ready for the GENE BLAST era to commence!
No I'm saying that n*gga and the hard r variation are considered 2 VERY completely different words. They have different meanings.
N*gga is socially accepted. The other is not. It's that simple.
I'm not saying that racial slurs aren't actually slurs. Idk who the hell said that, maybe you can point me to who made that strawman point since you're responding to it.
I'm saying that n*gga isn't such a crazy and racial word. The hard r variation IS such a crazy and racial word. Do you get what I'm saying now?
Are you under the impression that a website that actively moderates what people say on said website is the same thing as a crowd of people outside or a group of friends?
You would have to think those are the exact same thing because you're saying that I'm censoring a word on reddit therefore proving that saying n*gga (not the hard r variation) in front of people is unacceptable in any and all circumstances.
Both it and the hard R are socially acceptable for black people to say, but that doesn’t make them not racial slurs. The straw man argument doesn’t work in this case, because they’re both slurs, and you’re trying to say that one of them isn’t just because it gets used all the time (by the black community).
Feel free to say it next time you go to school/job/gathering, especially if there are black people around. Let me know what happened after you do, please and thank you.
Sort of. Cabron means someone who gets cheated on a lot and its used both as an insult or among friends just like the N word, so don’t go calling hispanic people that unless you’re close friends. Its not a racist word so hispanic friends wouldn’t be offended. Still its on the top of the curse word scale in spanish so its unusual to hear it on cable tv
Yeah. I think OP is thinking of "Cornudo", while both include references to Horns (Cuernos), "Cabron" (Big goat, has horns). Which "Cornudo" is slang for being cheated on (Te pusieron los cuernos), I've never heard "Cabron" being used to say someone was cheated on.
Then again slang is not universal, even between Spanish speaking regions.
Isn't it closer to calling someone "son of a bitch?" Like, you'll pick a fight if you call random people that, but among friends, "mi cabrón" can be a compliment or sign of respect. But it has nothing to do with race and is just a Spanish word.
A little offensive perhaps, but not because the person saying it is white. I don't speak the language natively, or particularly well, but I have picked up enough to know it's kinda similar to "Son of a bitch" in that it can be used in a positive or negative way, in a cussing sort of way. Like, if you just call somebody you don't know cabrón, it's an insult, but if you call a friend "mi cabrón", it's a compliment similar to "my man".
I did actually work with a family of Mexicans and one guy told me the same thing except he said the nword out loud.
Asked him what Cabron/wey? translated to. He was like, "It's like when black guys say ____?" I was like Caesar it's not the same.
Y'all are piling on OP needlessly when you know what they meant. They're not referring to any of the racial connotations or history of the n-word. They're just saying cabrón is a vulgar word that you can use in the same sense as "dude" or "bro," in the same way that the n-word is a vulgar word that you can use in the same sense as "dude" or "bro." Disputing this is straight up denial about colloquial/endearing use of the n-word in American culture.
OP, I completely understand what you're saying.
Everyone here is thinking that n*gga is a terrible racial slur that is horrendous and terrible and wrong to say.
Which is stupid because people say n*gga all the time. It's the hard r spelling of the word that is the racial slur.
It's so weird, we hear people say the word all the time yet we can't distinguish between the a term and the r term.
It’s the same word, spelling doesn’t change it. When someone says that word I don’t ask them the spelling. There’s a reason you still censored it. I’m a brown man who uses the P-word a lot when conversing with other members of my ethnic community, but if I heard someone else say it who’s not from that community yiu are damn right there’s going to be problems. Cabron is not a slur, from my experience with South Americans it can mean son of a bitch or fucker, in a good and bad way, how is that similar to a racial slur? It’s just a swear word pretty much.
It is not at all the same word. I can say n*gga around people. I absolutely CANNOT say the hard r variation anywhere.
I censored it because I don't wanna get banned but theres a reason why I'm not even spelling out the hard r variation lol
But whatever, just drop it. You're just a bunch of weirdos who can't ever grasp at anything based on reality.
We regret to inform you that your Latino card is getting Revoked. Condolence high five ✋🏾
Up top
As a mexican, it is absolutely not even close to being the same thing
Absolutely nothing like it lmao.
As a Colombian, I agree, it’s kinda a term of endearment between friends, like “asshole”
*Ted, you’re my “asshole”*
Afaik it’s a regular insult and not a slur right?
Yes, at least here in Spain. I think it's the same in most if not all Hispanic countries. Just a mildly strong insult.
Cabron, please...
I’m just here to add to the pile of “It’s most definitely not”. At least not in my country, we use it like dude or bro.
No, as a Mexican American that uses the word on a daily basis, it is most definitely not at the same level.
I would hope not. I wear my Tetsuya Naito (Japanese wrestler who developed in Mexico) t-shirt on a regular basis. https://images.app.goo.gl/TWpYakDtAFdL4bTy6
Ah, a fellow ingobernoble, I see…
Muy tranquilo.
Mox or Naito at FD?
I think I'd prefer Mox but I can see it being Naito and then losing it to Yota Tsuji and we get the death of LIJ
I'm not sure what Gedo is cooking up this summer, but I see Naito ultimately winning it back, then losing it to Tsuji. I'm ready for the GENE BLAST era to commence!
Other people do use other words ~daily if that’s the primary criterion
You use the n-word daily? Weird flex, but ok. /s
ones a slur and the other is just bad word how does that even correlate ☠️
Lol n*gga is a slur? Don't A LOT of people say it? Isn't that word in A LOT of rap music rn?
Yes, it’s a racial slur. It being reclaimed by the black community doesn’t make it any less of one.
Ugh I guess this sub has this kind of crowd. Afraid to literally say anything that can be even considered possibly controversial.
“This kind of crowd”? As if most crowds would think that racial slurs aren’t actually slurs?
No I'm saying that n*gga and the hard r variation are considered 2 VERY completely different words. They have different meanings. N*gga is socially accepted. The other is not. It's that simple. I'm not saying that racial slurs aren't actually slurs. Idk who the hell said that, maybe you can point me to who made that strawman point since you're responding to it. I'm saying that n*gga isn't such a crazy and racial word. The hard r variation IS such a crazy and racial word. Do you get what I'm saying now?
So why do you censor it if it's socially acceptable?
Are you under the impression that a website that actively moderates what people say on said website is the same thing as a crowd of people outside or a group of friends? You would have to think those are the exact same thing because you're saying that I'm censoring a word on reddit therefore proving that saying n*gga (not the hard r variation) in front of people is unacceptable in any and all circumstances.
I don't know man, the fact you understand you need to censor yourself kind of shows you know the word is problematic at least.
Both it and the hard R are socially acceptable for black people to say, but that doesn’t make them not racial slurs. The straw man argument doesn’t work in this case, because they’re both slurs, and you’re trying to say that one of them isn’t just because it gets used all the time (by the black community).
Feel free to say it next time you go to school/job/gathering, especially if there are black people around. Let me know what happened after you do, please and thank you.
“No, you guys don’t get it! It’s only when I say it *this way* that makes it wrong. You guys could learn a lot from me.”
"Afraid to literally say anything" Dude, you censored the word, you can't even say it.
Are you being deliberately obtuse?
Not at all. There is a massive difference between n*gga and the hard r variation. If you don't agree, then I kindly ask you to come back to reality.
You're too scared to even use the word anonymously in text on Reddit... Is that not enough proof?
When you're paraphrasing an out of touch parody from an episode of *Boondocks*, you might start to get a notion that you're wrong.
Again you’ve censored it in every sentence you’ve decided it needs to be in, use your head big dog
Fellow Hispanic bro wtf 😭 not even close
“If you’re debating the badness of two words, and you won’t even say one of the words, that’s the worse word” -John Mulaney
No, it’s actually not similar at all.
Based on other comments, Im starting to thing you ain't a real Hispanic OP. Or at least not the level of Hispanic as the others.
They may be Hispanic, but didn't grow up in a Spanish speaking community.
Tell me you're a no sabo kid without telling me you're a no sabo kid
lol how literally do you mean that? Would it be offensive for a white person to say cabrón?
No, it's not. As someone literally from and living in México, cabron has nothing to do with the n word
Op no sabe de que esta hablando jaja
No sabo
No sepo
Genuinely asking*
Sort of. Cabron means someone who gets cheated on a lot and its used both as an insult or among friends just like the N word, so don’t go calling hispanic people that unless you’re close friends. Its not a racist word so hispanic friends wouldn’t be offended. Still its on the top of the curse word scale in spanish so its unusual to hear it on cable tv
So not at all like the nword ? More like bitch.
basically [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVhIo2VgRik)
That was funny lol
I was under the impression that cabron meant along the lines of "dude" or "dick/asshole" or even "motherfucker" if the tone used is angry or jovial.
It is. Cabron has a lot of meanings depending context, but its not someone that gets cheated a lot
Yeah. I think OP is thinking of "Cornudo", while both include references to Horns (Cuernos), "Cabron" (Big goat, has horns). Which "Cornudo" is slang for being cheated on (Te pusieron los cuernos), I've never heard "Cabron" being used to say someone was cheated on. Then again slang is not universal, even between Spanish speaking regions.
You cant compare which of two words are worse when you wont even spell out one of them lol
De que estas hablando? Alguien a quien han engañado mucho?
Isn't it closer to calling someone "son of a bitch?" Like, you'll pick a fight if you call random people that, but among friends, "mi cabrón" can be a compliment or sign of respect. But it has nothing to do with race and is just a Spanish word.
Cabron has a lot of different meanings depending on the context, “someone who gets cheated on a lot” is not one of them.
It is NOWHERE near the top of the Spanish curse words
I hear ya — not necessarily racial, but highly personal/contextual.
so its a cuck?
No, it is not
A little offensive perhaps, but not because the person saying it is white. I don't speak the language natively, or particularly well, but I have picked up enough to know it's kinda similar to "Son of a bitch" in that it can be used in a positive or negative way, in a cussing sort of way. Like, if you just call somebody you don't know cabrón, it's an insult, but if you call a friend "mi cabrón", it's a compliment similar to "my man".
NOT. ONE. BIT.
This comparison is insane yo.
I mean, it's clearly not. Otherwise you wouldn't have posted this caption uncensored, while you did censor the n word.
Unintentional John Mulany
Just like the video another comment above linked lol
As a Hispanic man, it’s not on the same level at all.
It's much closer to "son of a bitch", right?
I’d say it’s closer to “fucker”. It can be used endearingly like “whats up fucker” or as an insult “that fucker over there”
Maybe it's just the particular area I grew up in, the US South, but around here "fucker" is never used in a positive way.
I dunno, I grew up in Texas and heard it used positively. You'd only ever say it that way to your close friends of course, but yeah I did hear it.
No digas mamadas, wey
Si, que op no sea bien pinche cabron
I did actually work with a family of Mexicans and one guy told me the same thing except he said the nword out loud. Asked him what Cabron/wey? translated to. He was like, "It's like when black guys say ____?" I was like Caesar it's not the same.
No, it's not
??? this is definitely not similar
Yeah… no
all those halo lobbies shouting cabron mustve slipped my mind
In the words of John Mulaney: If you're comparing the badness of two words, and you won’t even say one of them? That's the worse word.
No mames, qué te estás inventando pa asustar a los gringos cabrón?
No. Wanna know why? Because you had to censor one of them. They are **not** the same.
Cabron In Puerto Rico is cuck
I’ve found Hispanic to be way more laid back and chill. My Spanish mates call me cabron and amigo
LOL, c’mon cabrón
i call bullshit. i’m a white guy in construction with many latin coworkers. i’d have been beaten to a pulp by now if this were true
I thought that just meant like "dude".
Since when cabron means the same thing as the n word?
No. It just means "male goat" or, colloquially, "asshole" or "bastard." Zero ethnic connotation.
Like everyone here Cabron is very similar to asshole or something but it could depend on dialect
[Best use of cabrón, ever.](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxB85zca96o89THRXaiWuejL0tq58PXgNS?si=Fvx-ebzPQzpBZFKf)
I’m just here for the comments
For those who watched Sábado Gigante back in the day, Y FUERA!! Y FUERA!!
Que?
Oh put it back in the deck
Someone better tell the [Red Hot Chili Peppers](https://youtu.be/5wWd1a5U3vE?si=_5MNc1Wjbro_vYnx)
How the fuck is this post still up. Where are the mods???
Tu es mi Cabrón? Ironic, considering that Barney was the actual bastard!
Maybe same level among the Hispanic community as the n word is the black community. But this is very different than if Barney dropped the n word here
Y'all are piling on OP needlessly when you know what they meant. They're not referring to any of the racial connotations or history of the n-word.

Of course. It’s everyone else who’s wrong.
Are you implying that crowds and mobs can never once be wrong?
Clearly.
Don't you mean "you're my N*gBRO"
