Just as a word of advice, don’t use slurs from another cultures. You know the slurs you shouldn’t say in your culture, and I promise you sound just as ignorant and bigoted using the slurs you don’t understand. The “I’m not racist but” introduction did not help here.

I might not be a native English speaker but I’m fully aware of the offensiveness of the word in question; and it’s being used for this very reason, to highlight shit immigrants in USA go through, but emigrants from USA expect to avoid. (Ooopsie, I’m supposed to mince words and call them “expats”, right?)
And by the bloody reactions, this shite worked pretty well, innit.
