The word "N-word" can be traced back to a very long, complex background in America. It has been used a derogatory term towards African Americans for centuries, and its use remains controversial today. In recent years there has been a increasing use of the cheap n word pass- the card that is believed to grant people who are not black the ability to use the term without facing consequences. What is the source of this idea? come from? And how does it relate to engineering? In this blog we will look at the engineering precision behind the N-word passcard and it's social implications.

The N-word card is not an original idea. It's been around for years, but has gained interest with the emergence of social media platforms such as Twitter as well as Instagram. The cards are usually designed by non-blacks who feel entitled to use the word "N-word" because they have black friends or listen to rap music. They claim that if black people can speak it, then why can't they?

But what many fail to realize is that language has significance and power that goes beyond dictionary definitions. The N-word carries centuries of oppression and violence towards people of color in America. This was applied as a means to denounce them during slavery and is still used to denote insults in the present.

So how does engineering play into all of this? Let's look at the process of the creation of an N-word pass card.

First, there's precision forging - creating something with extreme accuracy and detail. In this case it's the process of creating a physical or digital version of an "N-word" pass card with a specific phrase like "This person has permission to say the N-word." This precise language implies that there are rules or guidelines to using this word when it is not the case that there will be any exemptions.

There is also social designing, which is the process of shaping something to fit into a specific social setting. N-word pass cards are frequently designed and then shared through social media platforms, which allows them to become viral and seen by thousands of people. This type of design permits the common usage of the N-word, as it is seen as a casual and normal thing to do.

Conclusion: N-word pass cards may seem to be a harmless gag and trending on the internet, however they have more serious implications regarding race relations in America. The precision design behind these cards perpetuates damaging notions of language ownership and entitlement and socially, they normalize the use of words that have an infamous history of violence towards black people.

As engineers, we need to be aware of the ways in which our inventions may impact society beyond their intended function. We must also recognize our privilege, and actively try to create a welcoming environment that is open to all, no matter their race, ethnicity or religion. Let's make use of our talents for good instead of being a part of the harmful system of oppression.
