What's preposterous is the number of people who get upset, make excuses, and try and throw it back when I call out racism. Before I paste what I said in another comment, I'd like to point out that I specifically said that some non native English speakers may be ignorant of the history of the n word. Anyway:
While I understand the similarity with the latin languages, as it shares that origin, it is its own word. The actual word is being used, not words that sound alike, as it was exported by colonial powers.
