First of all, that Clocktown could really use a floating celestial object of doom... With a face!
I have two friends who aren't racist but are the kind of assholes who don't think that words mean things and often say the n-word when losing at video games. I have told them that words mean things and that by saying words that mean racist things they make me uncomfortable but they just fall back on "we're not racist dude, it's all about context" and are too insufferably stubborn to listen to me.

How do I make them realize that "I'm getting niggerstomped over here" and "Kill that friend of the family" and other casually racist phrases shouldn't be said because they are mad at video games? Nobody else in this group of friends really cares enough and I can't find new friends because I'm a goony, socially inept manchild.

i think the defining major issue of our time is that so many of our young people shout swears whilst playing imaginary games on their computer screens

it is really a big deal that affects race relations and humanity as a whole

don't let it bother you so much OP

there's nothing you can do that will change their behavior and you need to accept that. if you can't deal with it then don't play games with them anymore.

Why did you use "n-word" in your thread title but had no problems spelling it out in your post?

Does it bother you because every time they use that word it's a painful reminder to yourself that you aren't cool enough to have a black friend?

try this:

"hey guys. um, you really shouldn't say, um, 'friend of the family', it has a lot of bad history and it makes others feel bad and uncomfortable, okay? try using 'n-word' instead, because it's totally more pc and the darkies don't hate that one as much, even though it means exactly the same thing and you can basically get away with saying friend of the family to their faces without being punched if you just say 'n-word'.
