It's a tricky issue. I am a keen fan of hip hop, and especially UK hip hop. What happens when a british white OR black person drops the N Bomb?

I think the opening of Office Space carries important lessons for us all. If you are Honky, you can drop the N Bomb all day long, AS LONG AS A BLACK PERSON DOESN'T SEE.

It's a thorny issue but not just linked to what operating system you run.

Both Macs and PCs play rap the same. Linux might, I'm not sure what with all their beady ogg vorbis shit.
