Since when did "Nagger" become a racial epithet?

As the title suggests, when did "nagger' become a racial epithet or racist in any manner whatsoever?

Backstory:

I was playing BC2 the other day and at the end of a round, some guy was just mouthing off and so I just said, "hah, you nagger" and the next second, I got perma-banned on the server! 😡

The "reason" was 'racist remark'! I was like, "WTF!?"

Anyway, since when did NAGGER become a racist word? Just because it sounds close to the n-word? Seriously? And, that guy was nagging so I called him a nagger.

Naggers piss me off!
 
Its a South Park reference. He chose 'I for his next letter'.

i dont really know why you would call someone a nagger other than to circumvent a word censor for the n-word. wtf is a nagger?
 
Because it is close to the N word so they assume that's what you're doing, even though "nagger" basically just means someone who just won't shut up about something 😛

ppl are too sensitive.
 
monkey-balls.. A nagger is someone who nags... you guys can't be this dense.. btw, that South Park reference is LOL..

What's too bad about that? Anyone really give a fuck that the OP was banned for using that term on a gaming website?

what's too bad about it is if anyone is using that word for exactly what it is, calling someone who nags, a nagger, and yet is accused of using it as a racial slur. that's bullshit.

I think more along the lines that people are so stupid sensitive that they are looking for/seeing racism in words that have no relation to it.
 
Swear filters on servers is one of the reason I quit playing Battlefield 2 on the pc. Quite hypocritical to forbid the use of curse words in a game that simulates war. I mean come on, you're playing a game rated M. People are getting shot dead and bleeding out, there's head shots. There should not be any kiddies in there to worry about f-bombs. If there are, I guarantee you they aren't hearing anything they haven't heard before.

Xbox has it right. You can say whatever the hell you want. If someone doesn't like it, all they have to do is mute you.

No one is complaining about censoring common non-racial profanities as far as I can tell. Or are you saying that calling people a term applied to black Americans is pertinent to a game of Americans vs Chinese/those Muslim folks?

Well I figured that part out, but I see no reason to call someone a nagger in a literal sense in BC2. The only plausible explanation is OP was circumventing a word filter.
