I thought that the word Nigger came from the dark skinned natives of the Niger delta, Hence the country Nigeria. So surely its a term used to describe a people from a certain area?

I was told that too and thus makes it more in some ways offensive to non Nigerians. A bit like calling an Indian a Paki....
