This is ludicrous, but it has precedence going back many years.
One will get in trouble for saying the "N-word" regardless of the context. It doesn't matter if you are simply repeating what the offensive speech was, you are not supposed to
ever say the "N-word," just the abbreviated version or you are an ignorant 'racist.'
It has been that way for a long time the U.S., in particular
multiple teachers and coaches have gone under fire for using the "N-word" without any racist intent.

A white BBC reporter came under fire Wednesday for using the N-word uncensored in a report describing a racist attack — giving just a few seconds’ warning it was coming.
Fiona Lamdin used the slur in a 10.30 a.m. report in the UK to describe the hateful words shouted at a black National Health Service worker who was hit by a car in a suspected racially aggravated assault in Bristol.
“Just to warn you, you’re about to hear highly offensive language,” Lamdin told viewers in the pre-recorded segment for a regional news show.
“Because as the men ran away they hurled racial abuse, calling him a ‘n—er,’ ” she said, with the offending word aired completely uncensored.
Her warning — just seconds before the word was used — was not enough to stop a swift backlash.
