The N-word is not in S1:E1 it is in S1:E2, used by Merle against a black man who then gets attacked by him. Rick does not 'shut it down' and only intervenes because they started fighting and later Rick uses the word himself. It is also in S2:E5 used by Merle offhandedly. Both times Merle uses the hard R.

Said only by black characters. That said, there are other forms of hate speech performed by other characters towards minorities.

At some point on a mission, one of the main characters in the gang (Lenny) says it in reference to Arthur being seen with him, as he is black. There are also multiple instances of people using derogatory slurs towards black characters (an example of this is if you tell Lenny to distract the Lemoyne Raiders at Shady Belle before killing them).

A racist guy that Forrest talks to uses the word during the Alabama scene where people are fighting for desegregation of a school. He also uses the word "coon", which Forrest believes refers to raccoons, but which is another racist slur against black people.

The movie uses the word Negro often as was the case in the time period. It is rarely used as a negative term, however. The words colored are also used to describe black people.

In one scene, a Segregation rally is held where they use derogatory language about black people while in front of the Rebel flag
