RE:Offensive language is offensive - regardless of the motive of the speaker.

Not quite true, offensive language about white males is rarely considered offensive. Apparently, we are the cause of all problems in the world, so are fair game for insults and offensive language. Actually, even some nationalities are fair game. On Raging Bull, if you use the word "chink", it becomes ##### in the post. I pointed out to the people there that chink is an actual word that can be used not as an ethnic slur and that if they edited out chink, they also ought to edit out the word "limey", which is a derogatory word for English people. Of course, they didn't accept my suggestion. I guess I'll just have to get used to being a second class citizen of the world.
