And most likely if you parsed specifically tweets containing the n word, you'd find most of said tweets are authored by black people.

Not sure what the point of this article is.

Which "n word"? Do a simple twitter search with the two spelling variants and you'll immediately notice completely different results.

I don't think that is very relevant. While the n-word is a relatively common part of african american vernacular, it is not that "slut" or "whore" are specifically part of female vernacular.
