As an French speaking European, I m not sure to precisely understand American taboo and other cultural rules. But I find the practice to not be able to report the use a taboo or swear word quite strange. If you report a fact, you need to report it precisely.
On the N word specifically, couldn't we agree to ban it completely in normal discourse for all? I mean if it is so taboo why make it exception? And on what do you base the exception? level of melanin production? supposed ancestry? “Who’s the gatekeeper for blackness?” asked Rachel Dolezal[1].
