Saying you cant say a word purely based on skin color is text book racism because ti discriminates on skin color race and ethnicity. Also saying that anyone using ut just want to be edgy or offensive is also a bad take since they might just not have american culture values
being ignorant of African American history and African diaspora in general is not really a great excuse. but that's why people in other parts of the world might get your excuse. it's still pretty awful, but maybe not as awful as living in America and still being ignorant of it. or any country with a history of + hand in African diaspora, really. so like >50% of the world.
oh and if you think NOT saying slurs is racist then I think you might be one of the ignorant ones.
I dont think I understand your last point
Either way not everyone shares american values or definitions when it comes to words
