The big problem is your friend assumes all rules are the same for everyone. This is a false assumption. For example, a doctor can give medical advice; a life coach can't (unless the life coach is a medical doctor). I can smack my wife on the butt; you can't. Etc. It is the misuse of the double standard . |

As always, check your premises: The claim “Because black people can use the n word, ...” may not be true. Puff, there goes the discussion. I suppose it could be tu quoque because the argument states that a particular position is false or wrong and/or should be disregarded because its proponent fails to act consistently per that position. Or, perhaps, Fallacy of Composition because it assumes that something true of part of a whole (some black people use the “n” word) must also be true of the whole (all black people use the “n” word). Or, stretch a bit and get the If-by-Whiskey fallacy. At least, it is more fun. |

P1: A is allowed to do blabla. I don't really see any type of fallacy. It just looks like a bad argument that has one fatally false premise. If I were you, by the way, I would not become a man who smacks his wife on the butt, or I would not become such a man's wife. |
