nigger = deregatory word for black people
faggot = not a deregatory word for homosexuals anymore.
It is possible to be gay without being a faggot (examples include Stephen Fry, Graham Chapman, Alan Turing, Robert Halford, to name a few)
It is also perfectly possible to be straight and still be a faggot (My previous boss, link8, gorman, and the list goes on..)
In other words, calling someone a faggot is on par with calling someone an idiot, and does not necessarily refer to their creed/race/orientation/whatnot
consider it explained.

Actually you probably didn't realize this, but nigger is no longer considered derogatory either! (By the way, please use spellcheck if you are unsure, you spelt 'derogatory' wrong twice!)
Now days nigger is used in a similar way to cunt in Australia, it can be used to insult strangers or to refer to friends;
"Jarmund is such a nigger"
"What's up my nigger??"
"Nigger did you remember to pick up the milk?" "Yes I did nigger, chillax"
So both are fine then I guess!
