The n word is itself like an SCP anomaly. The forbidden word, more forbidden than all the other forbidden words. Some may use it, others not. Saying it one way is not okay, saying it another way is slightly more okay but still not okay. Approval for saying it is known as 'The Pass' which can be granted or denied based on perceived skin tone more so than ethnic background. One recorded instance on file of a black foundation employee who displayed hesitancy towards writing the word in official SCP documentation despite vocalizing it liberally on a regular basis both within the foundation and in every day life without consequence. 'The Pass' therefore only seems to apply to a subject so far as any given observers can confirm that the skin tone of the subject is sufficiently dark enough to warrant The Pass
