Ah, I see where I misunderstood things - I thought "soft" meant inoffensive here, and not "soft A" as opposed to "hard R".

Just found this in Google:

(US, in particular), the hard r at the end of the word nigger when spoken with a General American accent and considered maximally racist; as distinct from the African-American Vernacular English pronunciation conventionally spelled nigga, whose final sound is sometimes called soft a
