I don't consider them offensive, but I don't say those words cause they are offensive where I live (US). The only reason I don't consider them offensive is because I haven't been raised to consider them offensive.
The word that will highly offend me at any time on any day is nigger. I don't even like the word nigga, but nigger is the word that I just cannot stand, and it's probably the only word I ever hesitate to read out loud (if it's in a book that we're reading in class), and actually a word I even hesitate to write :$ I think it's because I was told it was offensive when I was 7 or 8 and watching Family Matters. It's a show about a black family living in Chicago. Anyways, the girl in the family, Laura, her locker got tagged by someone...I think it was a black basketball guy, and I can't recall why he did it. But he tagged her locker with the word nigger, and I had to have my mother explain to me that it was offensive.
