The Swearengen character slings racial slurs around like poetry on that show. There’s one scene where the Chinese guy comes back from SF with a black woman. Swearengen is watching him from the window with Trixie and Trixie says “I think Wu did something crazy in San Francisco” and Swearengen says “You think he married the nigger?” Cracks me up.
I feel like the whole you can’t use the “n-word” in any context is a recent development; watch this public television dork drop it while introducing Randall Kennedy; no chance he would do that today.
