Extrapolation from the term (slur) used to refer to people with african ascent, this one instead is proposed to refer to people with (generally) hispanic roots and/or hails from Latin America. It refers to the "ñ" alphabetical letter which is almost unseen, unavaiable and unused in english language.

Proposed to coloquially replace the pseudoacademicist term "latinx".

As with the slur for black people, it is recommended that the one saying it is to some degree familiar/acquanted/friends/hispanic-latino themselves with the person they are going to use this word on. If this condition is not met, it can easily be seen and/or misinterpreted as a slur.

Goes well with "spanglish" (?) - to be put to test
Eh, my ñigga ¿cómo te va?

"This one goes to my Ñ nibbas."

a word that has caused racial controversey over the last few decades and up to current times. It came from the derogatory term for African Amercans "nigger" yet it has a completely different definition than said term.

The contemporary meaning of nigga has two distinct definitions. One means friend, brother, etc. and is mostly used in greeting, such as "Yo wassup my nigga", in this case the word nigga is used in a friendly way.

On the other hand, nigga can also be an insult. Statements such as "F*ck you bitch ass nigga" and "That nigga stole my iPod" are used when one is angry, frustrated, etc. So it all depends on the mood: good mood and nigga means friend, bad mood and nigga means enemy.

Though nigga is used most commonly by African Americans, people of other races use the term as well, though SOME African Americans, not all, feel uncomfortable with others, Caucasians in particular, saying it. In today's society, a white guy can only say "wassup nigga" to a black guy if and only if the black guy is perfectly cool with it. Otherwise, verbal fights may occur.

Again, this word isn't to be confused with "nigger" which really means african piece of sh*t. There is absolutely no friendliness in that word. The only ones who say nigger these days are either people making fun of the word (ex: guys like Dave Chappelle) or racists who seriously need to get shot.
racist white guy: wassup nigger?
black guy: *beats up white guy*

cool white guy: wassup nigga?
black guy: nuthin my nigga u know me Im just chillin
(assuming both of them are friends)
