Listen, not every author is good with hiding their kinks.

Quentin Tarantino making characters that say the N word over and over or are involved in erotic foot fetish scenarios and then casting himself to play those characters.

Tarintino shows the US as it is/was. N-word is a part of that history

And it's just a weird coincidence that it was the character he wrote for himself.

He seems more like a guy who never got past the emotional age of 13 than a racist. He probably really loved setting up a situation where he gets to rattle off an edgy, shocking round of nonsense in front of the whole country and giggle as people get offended. Your offense is probably playing into his pleasure more than the particular word he used.

probably just a pragmatic way to save time/$, need a pasty white guy to say N-word...Tarintino about as pasty white as it gets

I don’t know his reasoning and I have no idea what kind of person he is, but I’d rather do something uncomfortable than ask someone to do it.

Nobody had to fucking do it, have you seen Pulp Fiction? It's an entirely unnecessary, and incredibly lame attempt at a joke

Kind of like that part in Genesis where Abraham his wife and presumably God all show that they have a cuckolding fetish while they engage in multiple cuckolding/blackmail schemes?
