That, Aesha, is because most people are ignorant of the fact that there does
exist a country called Niger, which when pronounced sounds just like the "n"
word. So you see, there is infact, a proper usage of the word "nigger".
  One must therefore assume, or believe that there is also a proper usage
for the term "mudblood", when used in context in the wizard world. And that
it is just not another foul word.
