LMAO It's pretty hilarious...
So now you must be careful when pronouncing two totally unrelated words, because they may "sound" like a word that has been deemed terrible...When said word is quite acceptable if it's used in rap songs, thug culture and on a daily basis in regular conversations, provided that you're a member of the right race. Got it!

Dude should probably just consider going with his full name of Nicholas or something.
