    Is the k-word (or close variant) integrated into the cultural language there in the same way the n-word is here?

      I really don’t know how to answer this question. It has a major history of dehumanising people and is closely linked to apartheid. Black South Africans haven’t reclaimed the word like black Americans have - they’d mostly rather just see its use disappear altogether.

        That answers my question, thank you.
