Australia definitely has much more relaxed views on the N word in general. I don't use it only because i see how heated people get over it here. I was on the train to go clubbing the other day and my friends were having a discussion on whether it was acceptable to say the n word. Then other people started joining in and then our whole side of the train carriage was saying the n-word and all came to the conclusion that it was okay if a black person gave them the "ok" to use it first. I was extremely uncomfortable throughout the whole discussion though
