Gina Rodriguez says 'n***a' in a recently surfaced clip.

comfort level with using the n-word is on display in a resurfaced clip -- and while it's a scripted sketch, it supports the notion Gina, and others, feel like she gets a pass.

The video which is just now going viral, for obvious reasons, is from over 7 years ago ... and shows Gina in a scene with 2 black men. Speaking to them like a coach, she says,"You heard me, take a lap, n***a." The scene is from a YouTube skit for"Northside Comedy," and was shot long before her career started taking off as the lead in"Jane the Virgin."Some folks online are pissed at Gina because the clip -- now deleted from the 'Northside' YouTube page -- surfaced on the heels of her using the n-word while singing a Fugees song on social media.

Watch desus and mero. Mero says it constantly. He’s not black at all.

Millions of Hispanics use that word and millions of African Americans are OK with it. Just go to any city in this country and witness it for yourself. They both call each other it. Its every other word out of their mouth. For a word theyre so sensitive to they use it an awful lot

And?

Now she’s just trying to utilize the N-word to get publicity. How disgusting 🙄

Why is this an issue? We live in some seriously F***ed up times.

NOBODY CARES!!!!!!!!!!!

Who gives a crap. Educate your audience on the state of this country with Trump as president or dictator.

Who effin cares Gina Rodriguez is the ish! Muas

Everybody saying so what..wtf what’s wrong with yalll this is not cute or funny!!!! Let a white person say it then y’all wanna be mad. She is not black ! She does not care about the black community ... but this how get a pass wtf .... She’s no different than the white ppl.

Boo!

So what, get over it !!

I don’t care. I’d still smash.

She's allowed to because she's not white.

Whom is she?

🗣 WHO GAF!!!!!

So what 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ y’all are to much ... ToSensitive

It’s so amazing that people don’t think this word is offensive at all. It’s like our black ancestors died and suffered in vain. Disgusting. I don’t care who uses it. Even black people who use it are as ignorant as hell. It’s a disgusting word.

I have a Latina friend that uses the word every two seconds and it makes me sick. They all do it and I’m sure Gina does it in a darogatory way too.

It was used by a truck driver who's truck was stolen in a scene by Henry Hill in Goodfellas too.

No one cares. If the word is so terrible then why didnt NY make it a crime to use like they did illegal alien?

What should happen anytime someone thinks,'Hu,YOU KNOW WHAT,seems like theNwords appropriate',PAUSE,'NOPE, thats alwaysthewronganswer,take a 10min break,focus on breathing exercises,positiveaffirmations, do some yoga,treatothers as we would like to be treated,until theyre ah🤬les

The N words not a good look even for the Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, let alone humans.

tmz really tryna take this girl down. smh

Big deal, I hear it all the time.

No one tell them about any Tarentino movie.

SJW eat there own 😂

The thing is... the script is so wack it’s like she wanted a reason do say nigga and be daring about it.

This broad likes to use the n word alot smh

Can’t stand her.

Who gives a fuck!

It’s a cheap distraction from the people who use the N word derogatorily. Blowing this issue up here is trying to dampen down and ridicule those who have been at the receiving ends by questioning our attention to necessity of cultural sensitivity

Who cares

Braking news. Leonardo DiCaprio used n word in Django Unchained

She's not the first. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Ok.... and..... so what?

Ok...

Oh she is sooo canceled.

Good Lord, you guys are like sharks to a drop of blood in the water! Stir that pot👿

So it’s ok for Latin people to use the n word? The rules are confusing

Why did you repost this shit Who cares

Ni**a please.. She probably has a Black boyfriend..

Really wanna know who is offended and why

Yo you know Cardi B uses it right?

She's 'Bad News.'

Who cares

These people never seen a Quintin T movie?

'SCRIPTED'

Go after Cardi B instead. She's an actual criminal.

Leonardo di caprio also said it in Django! Fire them all!

OMG! TMZ! Have you hear what Clint Eastwood said in Gran Torino?!?!?! Lol, you should definitely try to go after him the next time it’s a slow celebrity news day! 😂😂

Looks at EVERY Tarantino movie.

Ok?

Extra, extra, read all about An actor reads words off a page Extra, extra

What did we do, put a search on how many people uses the N word that’s not black. Then crucified them

People are so soft

Oops!

So that's it? That's the headline? Nothing else to elaborate on? Maybe a point to this post in general?

I’m dead

I don't care

If I write a catchy song that implies my mother is a tramp and the rest of the world sings those lyrics, then I should have no right to get upset that people sing about my mother's unsavory disposition. Decipher the analogy. Good luck.

Get off her back

cue more faux outrage from the usual twitter pitchfork mob. If this is important to you then you have a serious perspective problem. Switch the news on maybe.

Slow news day?

in a world where woman of color a Latina cant said the n word oh god hahhahahaha i have seen it all now thats 2019 for ya people kinda funny same time in time we are living now

Uh ok. Yall never seen Chappelle Show? Plenty of comedy skits that have the word .

Who cares?! It's comedy.

Pretty sure she’s only culturally authorized to say “spic” and “wetback”. Rookie mistake.

Sooo whhhaaaattt

So what smh

Like with a hard er 😳

Heard she played dress up with JustinTrudeau
