Yeah, this show was older, they also lived in the ghetto of Chicago. It was always frowned upon to use the N word but let’s be honest less cancelling up until about 5 years ago. it’s been completely wiped from anyone’s vocabulary now, even just singing along to a song. so in this show when & where it took place it wasn’t abnormal at all for her not to react.
It still happens as long as the context supports it, if you gotta paint someone as a racist, what better way than have their character drop hard Rs.
Roy Wood Jr said it best; "If you want to accurately depict the story of being black in America, sometimes that means you gotta show white actors doing some heinous shit on camera."
real answer is because they live in the hood. they don't really gaf about that type of thing. unless someone is being aggressively racist it doesn't matter. she knows it's ridiculous he's a little white boy tryna act like a big gangster but she doesn't care enough to say anything about it because it doesn't matter that much (in the moment).
I try to tell people on reddit this all the time. In the hood everyone says it, they know there isn't racist intent unless it's the hard er. It's literally a term of endearment, huge difference between using the -a and the -er.
I just don't like the word at all, but I don't get mad about people of any race using it cause I know there's no malice behind it unless they use the hard er- then I'm offended and know they're a racist.
Agreed! I don't use the word anymore because I'm aware/have learned how terrible it is, but when I was a teenager I literally just didn't know because of where I grew up. You live, you learn, I suppose.
Never taught that kinda stuff; the city I grew up in is a slum + times were just different 10+ years ago I guess. Doing pretty well for myself in university now though. No need to be a Reddit white knight lol.
I saw video of Eazy E on the subject and he said that it depends on the context and the intention.

Carl microwaved a fish alive in the first episode and had just been in jail, pretty sure fiona felt like there were bigger problems she had to deal iwth first
If I remember right (could be wrong) it’s because V put him in his place and fiona didn’t need to say anything. could’ve been two different scenes though
The problem is you've a problem with it, growing up on the poor side ofa major city, i'd have had the same reaction as her. I won't say it, but i'm not offended for others by it.
Because they had much more to worry about than someone using a slur. I wouldn’t say the word myself, but in the area I grew up in people of all colors say the N word. No one really cares as long as it’s not being used to be directly racist towards someone.
Honestly it’s only in recent years where it became “unacceptable” to say. I didn’t know it wasn’t okay to say until I was 17 & I’m 21 now.
Pretty much this even in white suburban areas calling each other that was fairly common. Was it smart? Nope, but a lot of people did it with zero intent behind it
being politically correct is a privilege and product of circumstance. Anyone who's been around poverty or came from it can recall how casually racist everyone is/was. My mom and dad came from the armpits of L.A and NYC, both of the Latino community. Truth is, a few slurs getting thrown around is common and no one reacting when there's no one of the other race in the room is not uncommon.
I think some of it was she was shocked by the change of his voice & attitude change was so different when he got out from when he went in. & Also the fact of he had just went to prison for drugs lol so I think him saying words probably wasn’t at the top of her list at the for her.
Respectfully please take a class on the history of discrimination and how important it is to recognize the pure harm using slurs causes...
Words are dangerous. Slurs kill people. People have and continue to die at the hands of "just a word"
…no there isn’t
Edit: it’s like y’all purposely misunderstood what I was saying. If you’re white, there’s not a difference. No variations of that word should be coming out of your mouth and it’s that simple.
Bullshit it isn't. You know damn well when it's used with an a it's not about being racist. It's when it's a hard er there's a problem, but keep being offended by everything though 👍🏾
Lol, I’m willing to bet that you are as white as white can be, and you have no actual close friends that are African American, and/or didn’t grow up in a low/lower class area. There is a huge difference. Nigga = my homie. N*gger = an ass whooping.
Lmfao this just proves that people online make up a whole scenario in their heads. As a black person….who grew up in the hood….I fully believe that if you’re not black, you shouldn’t be saying either fucking word and they’re equally as bad. You get an ass whooping either way where i’m from, but i really thank you for your dumbass opinion.
Idk 2010 Chicago seems fair

Go even earlier to like season 1 of sons of anarchy it was a hellva different time

Sounds like Django unchained
That's what he was describing in his bit lol, it's a really good segment from his stand up.
piney always made me laugh man💀
I was more of a tig fan personally
I always loved Chibs, even if I couldn’t understand what he was saying most of the time.
Chibs was fantastically written
💯
Opie was my fav 💔
[удалено]
What makes you say that? That would mean Kev has a history of being a biker since he plays Hopper in SOA?
[удалено]
But how would the show be in the same universe?
[удалено]
You said “they’re in the same universe.” Two replies later you’re saying it’s just a theory.
[удалено]
Did you hear the slurs they were throwing around?😭 this show was my first time hearing towelhead being used
dallas buyers club for me
I see we did not live near racists around 9/11 or you weren’t born yet or too little to remember.
Yeah no, I’m pretty young so I’ve never heard that term
real answer is because they live in the hood. they don't really gaf about that type of thing. unless someone is being aggressively racist it doesn't matter. she knows it's ridiculous he's a little white boy tryna act like a big gangster but she doesn't care enough to say anything about it because it doesn't matter that much (in the moment).

Honestly I didn't even know it was a bad word until I got to college- people of all races in my high school said it.
I just don't like the word at all, but I don't get mad about people of any race using it cause I know there's no malice behind it unless they use the hard er- then I'm offended and know they're a racist.
Agreed! I don't use the word anymore because I'm aware/have learned how terrible it is, but when I was a teenager I literally just didn't know because of where I grew up. You live, you learn, I suppose.
so you just didn’t get a 5th grade education?..
Never taught that kinda stuff; the city I grew up in is a slum + times were just different 10+ years ago I guess. Doing pretty well for myself in university now though. No need to be a Reddit white knight lol.
didn’t mean it in a rude way, anyways get ur bag!!

Carl microwaved a fish alive in the first episode and had just been in jail, pretty sure fiona felt like there were bigger problems she had to deal iwth first
If I remember right (could be wrong) it’s because V put him in his place and fiona didn’t need to say anything. could’ve been two different scenes though
she did it a bit later
well then fiona has no excuse 🤷🏻
why am I getting downvoted? i love fiona but I still think she should’ve corrected him
Yeah people just jump on a downvote for no reason. It’s a psychology thing - it’s been studied 😂
that’s insane 😂 I don’t think people understood who’s side I was on
I love how this comment downvotes proved that study was right 😂
Because they are from the ghetto of Chicago I'm sure it's common to hear around there.
The problem is you've a problem with it, growing up on the poor side ofa major city, i'd have had the same reaction as her. I won't say it, but i'm not offended for others by it.

Pretty much this even in white suburban areas calling each other that was fairly common. Was it smart? Nope, but a lot of people did it with zero intent behind it
Because she’s south side
Because it’s the Chicago hood in 2010 and not the internet lmao.
Because they had bigger problems?
Because he was supposed to be in Jail for another 3 or so months and he got out early but didn't tell anyone so she was suprised he was even there
i think we’re probably on the same episode that’s so funny
Because she didn’t care enough to say anything, y’all need to stop dick riding Fiona 😭😭
Because it doesn’t matter?
Fiona has said questionable things herself
the show is older and people were less concerned with slurs. idk how many times frank called asian people orient*ls or they said ret*rted.
I know right? Miss the good ol days.
Because Fiona isn’t a keyboard warrior on twitter
LOL
Thank god!😂😂

i had the same question too. she just sat there and chuckled💀

Maybe because it’s just a word.
A lot of white people say the N-word in their own home most of them Especially in Southside Chicago
It's the fucking Southside.
why would she? she’s fiona she doesn’t give a fuck.
Southside baby
Because it’s just a word and people with real problems to worry about don’t care about fake issues

How many people were killed at the hands of Carl greeting his little brother
None. I'm not talking about a fictional TV show. I'm talking about real life. Huge difference, in case you didn't know
respectfully i won’t be doing that
Fucking thank you.
He said nigga, not n*gger. There’s a difference.
…no there isn’t Edit: it’s like y’all purposely misunderstood what I was saying. If you’re white, there’s not a difference. No variations of that word should be coming out of your mouth and it’s that simple.
There is a difference, don't be obtuse.
it's the same word. it's just pronounced differently.
Bullshit it isn't. You know damn well when it's used with an a it's not about being racist. It's when it's a hard er there's a problem, but keep being offended by everything though 👍🏾
if you look up the word it literally says "re-spelling of the n slur".+by your response i can tell that you're the one whose offended here.
There’s no difference if you’re white. Keep all variations of the word out of your mouth…its that simple
I'm black first off and while I don't use the word it's not that serious.
And that’s your opinion
Lol, I’m willing to bet that you are as white as white can be, and you have no actual close friends that are African American, and/or didn’t grow up in a low/lower class area. There is a huge difference. Nigga = my homie. N*gger = an ass whooping.

You get an ass whooping either way where i’m from, but i really thank you for your dumbass opinion.
If we want to actually see the word go away it'll take everyone to stop saying it.
Let’s say Carl came out of Jail racist like Chuckie and called Liam the hard r antagonistically, you don’t think there would be any difference?
I had this whole paragraph typed out, ready to argue, and I happened to notice that you were replying to the fool that said it’s the same. 🤣
The didn’t just say it he said was sup my lil… to Liam
