Could this get me disqualified from my GCSE exam?

In my British society history GCSE, to talk about race relations I used the incident where a conservative candidate for parliament was elected with the slogan "If you want a ni**er for a neighbour, vote Labour", but I didn't censor it. Given it had a clear historical context and was relevant in answering the question could I still get in trouble?

It was used in context, is relevant to the topic of the question, and hopefully explained so I would doubt it.

Probably not

Hah absolute joke of a thread. My teacher is an examiner for economics and he showed us some funny and insulting answers students have put and still got marks!

Nope. I fail to understand why people censor ****** when it's used in quotes; the word is only offensive when directed towards a person or group (of people) by the speaker.

No you won't because it's a historical quote.
I almost included a quote about Muhammad Ali which included the same word

Disqualified from your GCSE? Don't you think that would be a bit overdramatic.

The phrase is used in context in an answer. Why in EARTH do you think that could possibly disqualify you?

They think that because its racism and an unacceptable word to say for any human.
