Though they make a mistake in the last paragraph, I think this article makes a serious point about my country's interpretation of English slang.
Makes you wonder, though, why "niggabitch" is considered 'racist' and "ebony sluts" is perfectly acceptable.

I don't think that "ebony" ever had any offensive connotations to begin with (which is why it wouldn't be considered racist), but I am not an expert on the subject. Laconius!
