It's pretty much the same thing as the N word except targeted towards Hispanics and should be treated the same imo.
Not even remotely close to the N word. Go read a history book.
Does this mean we can't call bad players noobs either? Because that's discrimination.... give me fucking break.
"Read a history book"
Your entire argument for the word is based on a generalization that because all your Hispanic friends use it that means its okay and doesn't have any racist connotation or history behind it. That's the same basis people were using when debating if the "N word" was allowed a few months back mind you. Just because the word is used in a different way now by some people, doesn't mean it isn't offensive or derogatory to others or in general. Apparently because "people love Mexican food" its okay as well.
It also dates much further back than the 70's just like the "N word" Both words were used in a derogatory way and to subjugate a particular group of people historically, so by definition, it is a discriminatory term just as much as the "N word".

There is a big difference between calling someone bad at a game and calling them a racial slur with a long history of discrimination and disrespect. It's pretty silly to try to equivocate the two and I am assuming you don't have any other real arguments so you just tried to use this instead.
I'm not even an "sjw white person", I just accept the fact its disrespectful and best not be used in public.
