You guys are screwed, when a negro can say nigger but a white can't. That's the first thing you ought to fix asap.

Almost exactly same in russian. Legally not considered offensive, but when we are speaking with foreigner by default we avoid using it even russian.
But highly depends on situation. If person is visiting our country, but same time pushing his cultural values and dont respect ours, we give zero respect to his comfort as well, including - using any words we want.
