Another irony is it’s not minority or marginalized groups themselves driving cancel culture, but a small number of dogmatic white zealots.

No of course not, but if we have decided as a society that you cant use that 'n' word because it is massively offensive (which it is) then bigotry isn't required, you just shouldn't be throwing the word around, I grew up in a society where my mum would happily tell me in a market to stop being such a silly c***, it just isnt as offensive in the UK as it is here, I dont use the C word because of that, my feelings about the word or the body part or women in general are irrelevant.
