The use of the n-word is expressly against the rules in the forum, as are all derogatory terms.
I don't think the terms "cracker" or "white trash" are "completely offensive" and not only have I not seen people get offended by them here, I don't think I have seen people use them here before today.
No one would bat an eye if I said "Britney Spears is white trash". But if I said "Rhianna is a n*****," I would probably get banned.
So I do not understand where you are seeing a "double standard" in this forum.
